Many area rain gauges are going to continue to collect dust and have cobwebs grow in them. Last night we saw a couple of isolated showers, which amounted to mere trace amounts of rain. The showers were fairly strong over Iowa, but once they veered away from the jet stream they lost their upper level support and quickly fell apart. The storm track (jet stream) is well to the north of us today, and will stay well away from us for quite some time. Due to this highway of energy in the atmosphere being so far from us, we won't run into any significant rainmakers anytime in the near future.
The jet stream also acts as a separator between cool and warm airmasses. The fall-like weather will be confined to the western half of the country and Canada, while we sit in the summer-like weather through the beginning of the next work week. This weekend should give us at least one more great weekend to do some boating on the Rock River or up on Lake Geneva! -ADAM
