Monday, June 21, 2010:
Rainfall has been widespread across much of the Corn Belt since Friday morning. Not too much fell in that period in much of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio, but most everyone else in the region saw better than a half inch. There were of course some locally heavy rains, with eastern Iowa, northwestern Illinois, southeastern Indiana, southeastern Nebraska, and northeastern Kansas being the most notable areas for some heavier rains and associated flash flooding. It is an active morning again on this Monday, with a lot of rain in the Missouri River Valley and points westward, and a smaller area of thunderstorms in central Illinois. Look for things to stay active/unsettled in the Midwest right through Wednesday night as an east-west oriented frontal boundary continues to be the focusing mechanism for shower and thunderstorm activity in that period. Look for the bulk of the rain to fall during the late night and early morning hours, and the potential for localized big amounts will continue to be present. That frontal system should finally move out of the region to give most areas some drier weather for Thursday and Friday, but a new front will mean rain chances again in the Corn Belt for next weekend. Where we would like to get some rain is the heart of the Delta, but confidence remains low that they will get the big soaker that they want. Their best chances for this work-week will be for Thursday/Friday, when the remnants of the frontal system now in the Midwest sags into that area. It looks doubtful though that big rains on a widespread basis will be seen. Beyond that, we may have to look southward for rain chances for the Delta and/or Southeast, as more than one weather model is suggesting a tropical weather system for the Gulf of Mexico by late next weekend. This is still a weather pattern that has nothing but above-normal temperatures in it, with tomorrow and Saturday looking to be especially hot days in which we will see a lot of 90s in the Corn Belt and readings around 100 in the Delta.
