OSNW3 | OSHKOSH-NORTH

In just ten days OSNW3 has recorded another 5.15" of new rainfall. The amount is more than impressive, it's record breaking ( rankings ). Adding the 5.15" onto the 6.49" recorded during the first fifteen days of July puts us at 11.64" for the month through the 25th. The official precipitation record in Oshkosh for the month of July is 8.40". With a break from it today, Jul 25, temps and dewpoints have continued to be above average keeping things nice and hot around the area. OSNW3 is currently 2° above the official Oshkosh monthly mean for July. Many of the EAA campers are enduring the brunt of the record rainfall and above average temps. I personally hope things dry out and the moist air stays south to help make the fly-in a bit more suitable for being outdoors.

Since Jul 5, OSNW3 has recorded 6.72" of new rainfall. Back to back six inch months have left the property very soggy with a most pungent smell of rotten in some areas. Most days have been hot and humid with abundant sunshine making all shaded spots very popular. This evening, Jul 18, was the most bearable of the past fourteen I can recall with a mostly cloudy sky. It was still humid, but the sun wasn't beating down. Long range forecasts call for more of the same but with a little less precipitation.

The Oshkosh area and most of our region experienced three rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms during the 24hr period ending 7am Jul 15, 2010. Many daily records were broken and Oshkosh was no stranger, crushing the old daily record of 1.55" by 2+ inches. Here at OSNW3 we recorded a total of 3.67". This daily value is unofficially ranked 10th all-time in Oshkosh's history for largest 24hr precipitation total.

The first round of rain came around 5pm dumping 1.02", the second round came around 8pm dumping 1.57", and finally the third round came around 12am dumping 1.08". Below are a few photos of the flooded yard and rain gauge.

The dew points have risen well into the 70's around Northeast and Eastcentral Wisconsin this first week of July. Heavy rains have been a result of the moist air around the region. Oshkosh hasn't felt the brunt of the rains thus far though. However, last week Oshkosh did see a 2"+ 24 hour rainfall. Here at OSNW3 we recorded 2.07" during 24 hour period ending at 7am on Jun 27. Some where along the path of the heavy rain came some lightning which surged through the property faulting out the webcam and ethernet port on the server. The server has been repaired but the webcam is still down for maintenance. The short term forecast keeps the area wet and sticky.
