Good news! Classes are back in session and the rain gauge is once again up and running. A line of showers moved through the area late yesterday afternoon but we did not measure the precipitation total. However, we should be good to go from this day forth. Dr. Thomas B.

9/10/2014 9:20 AM 3.33 M M M M Overnight was the second significant precipitation event to affect west-central Illinois. The initial MCS (mesoscale convective system) brought locally heavy rain, mainly in an axis located just south of McDonough County in which Macomb is located. This complex of thunderstorms began in the early morning hours on Tuesday 9/9/14 and finally ended around 2 pm. The second complex (another nocturnal MCS) began last night around 7 pm with moderate to locally heavy rainfall blanketing the area all through the night. Flash flooding resulted with all area creeks and streams over their banks, and water running through the fields.
9/11/2014 12:30 PM 0.23 M M M M After heavy rainfall Tuesday night/Wednesday morning (9/9-10/14), additional showers developed as a cold front moved through the Macomb area during the day on Wednesday.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
12/14/2013 12/20/2013 5:00 PM 7 0.60 1.0 M A major winter storm affected the Macomb area, with snow beginning last Friday afternoon (12/13/2013) around 2 pm and ending Saturday morning (12/14/13) around 11 am (start time is solid; end time is approximate). Snowfall totaled around 10 inches but no observers were available to measure it (we were snowed in!). Since the storm, we have had one or two days with scattered snow showers with minimal additional accumulation, followed by light rain or drizzle from Thursday evening (12/19/13) through Friday (today 12/20/13) ending by early afternoon. This may have added a couple of hundredths to the precipitation total, which was melted snow and ice. Best I can do. Western Illinois University is now on break and I will do my best to monitor.

1/25/2014 1/28/2014 12:00 AM 4 0.00 0.0 0.00 Was not around to notice if there was or was not a trace of precipitation over the past few days. Gauge has been frozen to the post and have not been able to empty it in the past week to look for a trace. The grass is bare with only some frost on it. The only snow that remains on the ground are piles that were plowed or patches of snow that the sun cannot get to, to melt.
2/1/2014 2/03/2014 12:00 AM 3 M 5.0 M Was unable to measure snow in gauge. Total snow on the ground however is measured at 5 inches. There was only a trace on the ground the last time and entry was made on Friday the 31st of Jan. So the 5 inches is probably the amount that fell over this multi-day period.
2/22/2014 2/25/2014 8:36 AM 4 M 3.0 0.90 Was out of town from 2/22 to 2/24. After returning to town on 2/24, we received about an inch of snow that night with water content of .03 inches. There was already about 2 inches of snow on the ground.

8/29/2014 9/08/2014 5:30 PM 11 0.14 M M Sorry about not taking daily observations so far this academic year. We are in the process of arranging for observers. In the meantime, I forgot to read and empty the gauge. In reality, this has been the driest stretch of weather we have had all summer long, with much of the activity missing us on all sides at times. I believe most of this rain dates to Friday, 5 September 2014. Dr. Tom Williams
9/12/2014 9/15/2014 9:45 AM 4 0.10 M M A brief period of showers occurred during the midday hour on Friday, 12 September 2014. Dry weather prevailed over the weekend (13-14 September), then showers and thunderstorms moved in during the morning hours on Monday. Heavy rains fell south of Macomb in the Industry area where I live, but obviously not nearly as much at Western Illinois University. Unfortunately, the precipitation includes rainfall from both Friday and Monday morning. Heavier rains moved in between 10 and 11 am, and it appears that precipitation has come to an end, at least according to radar. A few widely scattered showers may yet develop as the afternoon progresses. Dr. Tom Williams
