Yes, that is not good at all. Only around 1.25'' of rain since the 2nd week of July here. However, the first two weeks of July produced over 8.50'' of rain.

Mid to upper 80s away from the lakeshore for the rest of this week. Maybe 90 degrees in spots

Strong cold front entering Montana from Alberta today has created some impressive temperature gradients.

It's also showing rain to hit the drought stricken Northern Plains while the Great Lakes regions stays dry. South and East Coast getting lots of rain






Pattern seems to retrograde in the 10-15 period with heights ridging back in to the west but doesn't look like there's a deep trough for the eastern US right now
