We set a RAIN record in La Crosse yesterday.

TOO MUCH!  TURN IT OFF!!

We had a RECORD RAINFALL YESTERDAY with 2.99 inches of rain at the La Crosse Airport.  The old record for July 12 was 2.65 inches set 61 years ago in 1953.

 

Four miles NNW of La Crosse a National Weather Service employee recorded 3.05 inches in just 1 hour and 10 minutes.

We're back in the flood mode again

The afternoon rains are causing problems.

We've seen an inch and a half of rain in La Crosse and there could be street flooding in La Crosse as well as Onalaska, French Island and Blue Bird Campground.

TOO MUCH RAIN

Except for when I was sick, I don't remember ever spending an entire day in my pajamas but that's what I did yesterday.

 

What was the use of getting dressed?  I sure wasn't going out in the rain that just would not go away!

 

It's so sad.  It's so dry in Texas, and the other southwestern states all the way to California.  And, here, the damn rain won't stop!

 

I hate to tell you but there's more on the way today.  THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI TODAY WITH FLASH FLOODS POSSIBLE.

 

Along with the rain we could get wind gusts to 45 MPH.

 

The storms will continue tonight into Wednesday, mostly south of I-90..

SOGGY SUNDAY

We've had thunderstorms moving through La Crosse since mid-morning and radar shows a lot more on the way.

The National Weather Service says storms will continue into tomorrow and VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE WITH PONDING WATER ON HIGHWAYS.  WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED. 
 





I didn't even stick my head out the door today.  It's a great day to stay home and read.

Here's a question for you (and the answer).

What do you all a grizzly bear caught in the rain?


A drizzly bear.

Only a 20% chance for thunderstorms around here today.

I saw a big area of rain around Bob and Lynne and Eric and Bert this morning.

TEXAS RAIN

Looks like Donnie and Linda will get some rain today.  That should make them happy.

RAIN ON THE WAY

One more nice day and then the rainy season returns to Wisconsin.

HOW LONG CAN THIS AWFUL WEATHER GO ON??

Another day of clouds and chilly weather with temperatures not getting out of the 50's.  We should see some sun this weekend but temperatures won't get warmer than the mid-60's.  Hopefully, we might get to 70 by Tuesday.

 

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

It was raining when I got up but not the "heavy downpours" they were forecasting so that's good.

 

The only plans Donnie and I have made, so far, is breakfast at Fayze's  this morning.  Rain won't interfere with that plan.  The rain should be gone by mid-morning so I don't think the whole day will be a complete wash out.

 

DAMN MISERABLE WEATHER!

This is my 74th Spring and it's the most miserable one I can remember.

Thunderstorms will arrive with Donnie and some of those storms could be severe tonight with large hail and damaging winds.

We're also looking at one to three inches of heavy rain this afternoon through tomorrow evening.  This, of course, could mean more flooding.

A LOUSY TIME TO VISIT WISCONSIN

Looks like it will be cold and wet while Donnie is here.  That will teach him not to even think about coming north until July or August!

IF YOU LIKE RAIN YOU'LL LOVE LA CROSSE

The weatherman says there's a GOOD CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS FROM TODAY INTO MONDAY.

A few of the thunderstorms, tomorrow night, could be strong to severe through Northeast Iowa and Southwest Wisconsin.  LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS will be the mail threats.

MORE WATER ON THE WAY

The last thing we need is MORE RAIN but there's a good chance we'll get more tonight.

The forecasters say isolated thunderstorms will become more numerous after midnight with a chance for HAIL AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN..

RAIN VS SNOW

I was going to complain about more rain coming for the end of the week.

 

Now I see the forecast calls for SNOW over the Black Hills, Northeast Wyoming and far western South Dakota for Wednesday night and early Thursday.  Guess I won't complain about a little more rain..

WET WEEK

What have we done to deserve this weather?

Hopefully, we'll see some sun today and tomorrow and then, beginning tomorrow night, it's rain and storms the rest of the week.

With the rivers spilling out of their banks, the last thing we need is another wet week.

The radar is covered with rain again this morning and the chance of rain, for the day, is 90%.

The chance for rain is a  bit lower tomorrow and we could, actually, see some sun Saturday and Sunday!

SUN! Do you remember what sunshine looks like??

 

This has just GOT to stop!!!!

It rained most of yesterday, rained all night, has rained all morning and from the looks of radar it will keep raining until sometime next week.  Now I know how Noah felt.

I'M ASHAMED THAT I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT A LITTLE RAIN.
