Heat and drought in Craighead County forced farmers to irrigate, driving up the cost of producing the crops. Irrigation cannot fully make up for the early start to the heat and the lack of rain. Some crops were smaller than they ought to be despite the irrigation.

Drought, low snowfall during the winter and the usual influx of summer visitors forced the town of Stonington to purchase 64,000 gallons of water to keep its wells full. Last year was the first time that the community needed to purchase additional water as its aquifer had provided enough water. In the offseason, the town’s wells usually produce about 20,000 gallons of water per day. But that has increased to about 55,000 gallons this summer, or about 16,000 more gallons a day than in July 2020. Water conservation is encouraged.

Hay, corn, oats and rye in Waldo County were stunted and dry as the area was in moderate drought. Because the area typically receives enough rain, farmers do not have ponds or equipment for irrigation when the weather turns dry. The dry conditions were stressing farmers, too, causing some to consider irrigation equipment. One farmer used a flatbed truck to haul water in 1,200 gallon tanks to irrigate.
Lawns were brown and brittle, and gardens were dry for lack of rain.

Drought increased the number of water line breaks in Corpus Christi from an average of three per day under normal circumstances to about thirty daily, due to drought, which causes the soil to shift and contract. Supply chain issues were also making it harder to get the materials needed to fix the water lines, according to the city manager, who noted that larger cities, like Houston, San Antonio and Dallas-Fort Worth, were also having the same problem.

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1226 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022
Valid 291200Z - 301200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND THE DELMARVA PENINSULA....
...SUMMARY...
Damaging thunderstorm gusts may occur from the Ozarks/Mid-South to
parts of the Mid-Atlantic region, as well as over parts of the
southern High Plains.
...Synopsis...
A mature mid-latitude cyclone is forecast to be centered over
western Quebec early Friday morning. This cyclone is expected to
weaken throughout the period, devolving into an open wave while also
becoming more progressive. By early Saturday morning, this upper
trough will have moved into the Canadian Maritime Provinces. At the
same time, a shortwave trough is expected to rotate quickly through
the base of this large cyclone/trough, moving from the Upper Midwest
across the Upper and Lower Great Lakes regions and through the
Northeast. Farther west, an upper ridge covering much of the West
Coast will remain centered over northern CA, while subtropical
ridging persists from the southern Plains through the Southeast.
A frontal zone is expected to extend from east-central NM
east-northeastward into the Upper OH Valley early Friday morning.
Some modest southward/southeastward progression of this front is
anticipated as it is reinforced by a secondary surge of dry,
continental across the air from the northern/central Plains and
Upper MS Valley throughout the day.
...Ozark Plateau/Mid-South/TN Valley/Mid-Atlantic...
Ample low-level moisture and strong heating will destabilize the air
mass in the vicinity of the frontal zone draped across the region.
Convergence along this boundary, augmented by modest large-scale
forcing for ascent as well as localized areas of lift near any
convectively enhanced vorticity maximums, should result in afternoon
thunderstorm development. Much of this development should be south
of the stronger mid-level flow, leading to an outflow-dominant
multicellular mode. Some loosely organized bowing line segments are
possible.
The only exception is across central/northern VA and adjacent MD and
DE. In this region, thunderstorms should be coincident with at least
modest mid-level flow. This increased mid-level flow will correspond
with increasing dewpoints/buoyancy, increasing the chance for
organized storms capable of strong wind gusts. As a result, wind
probabilities were increased to 15%.
...Southern High Plains...
Overnight showers and thunderstorms from Thursday night into Friday
morning will likely reinforce the frontal zone expected to extend
from east-central NM through central OK. This showers and
thunderstorms should also reduce mid-level lapse rates, increase
cloudiness, and reduce overall buoyancy across areas north of the
front. Strong diurnal heating is still anticipated south of the
front, resulting in deep boundary layer mixing as well as air mass
destabilization. Isolated to scattered afternoon thunderstorm
development is anticipated over this region. High-based character of
these storms coupled with steep low-level lapse rates will result in
the potential for a few damaging wind gusts. Adjustments to this
risk area may be required in later outlook based on the position of
the front.

MD 1606 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 505... FOR CENTRAL/EASTERN/NORTHERN NY
Mesoscale Discussion 1606
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1217 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022
Areas affected...Central/eastern/northern NY
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 505...
Valid 281717Z - 281915Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 505
continues.
SUMMARY...An evolving cluster across central NY should continue to
pose a threat for two-three west/east-oriented swaths of damaging
winds.
DISCUSSION...Deepest updrafts are located on both the northern and
southern flanks of an emerging cluster from the Finger Lakes to the
Upper Saint Lawrence Valley. 17Z mesoanalysis indicates MLCAPE has
increased to 1000-1500 J/kg ahead of this activity as surface
temperatures have broadly warmed through the upper 70s to mid 80s.
The BUF VWP has consistently sampled 40-kt westerlies as low as 2-km
AGL in the wake of the cluster, while strong mid/upper-level speed
shear evident in TYX will foster organization potential, including a
threat for small hail. With a 52 mph gust measured at 1635Z at the
Penn Yan NY Mesonet site, expect a threat for 45-60 mph gusts within
the deepest cells and small bowing segments as they spread towards
eastern NY.

MD 1605 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR MID-MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEYS
Mesoscale Discussion 1605
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1200 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022
Areas affected...Mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio River Valleys
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 281700Z - 281900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to gradually increase in
coverage and intensity through the afternoon hours, and may pose a
damaging wind risk. Watch issuance is currently not anticipated.
DISCUSSION...Regional reflectivity trends over the past hour reveal
a broad MCV moving eastward across central Missouri. Lift ahead of
this feature is promoting increasing cloud cover over the region.
However, breaks in the clouds across southeast MO to the lower-OH
River Valley have allowed for some diurnal destabilization.
Temperatures rising into the mid 80s, coupled with low 70s
dewpoints, are fostering MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg. Further evidence
of this trend is noted in visible imagery as shallow convective
cumulus, as well as a few deeper towers with occasional lightning,
continue to increase in coverage. Regional VWPs from western MO are
sampling 30-40 knot winds in the 5-7 km layer in the vicinity of the
MCV, which is supporting stronger deep-layer shear than reflected in
recent mesoanalyses.
Consequently, the combination of improving thermodynamics and
adequate kinematics may support a few strong to severe thunderstorms
this afternoon. Thunderstorms intensifying ahead of the MCV or
developing along a diffuse outflow boundary and/or the
southward-moving cold front will likely consolidate into loosely
organized clusters, though one or two semi-consolidated lines appear
possible, as hinted by a few hi-res solutions. While damaging winds
appear probable, confidence in the coverage of strong/severe
convection remains limited given the marginal thermodynamic profiles
and increasing cloud cover (which should act to slow further
destabilization).

Valid 281700Z - 291200Z
The previous forecast remains on track, with no changes or additions
made. Please see the previous forecast below for more details.
..Squitieri.. 07/28/2022
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0200 AM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022/
...Synopsis...
An amplified mid/upper-level ridge will remain in place over the
northwestern CONUS, while a belt of modest midlevel northwesterly
flow overspreads the northern Rockies. This large-scale pattern will
result in elevated fire-weather conditions over parts of southeast
OR, northern NV, and southwest ID -- where breezy northerly surface
winds near 15 mph will overlap 10-15 percent minimum RH.
In addition, isolated to widely scattered high-based thunderstorms
are expected over parts of the northern Rockies, and critically dry
fuels over this area will support isolated lightning-induced
ignitions away from any precipitation cores. An isolated storm or
two will also be possible along the Cascades in northern CA into
southern OR, though confidence in storm development is currently too
low for highlights here.
Farther north along/east of the Cascades in WA, breezy
terrain-enhanced surface winds and 10-15 percent RH could lead to
locally elevated conditions during the afternoon. However, these
conditions should generally be confined to terrain-favored areas and
appear too localized for Elevated highlights.

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1130 AM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022
Valid 281630Z - 291200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST STATES...
...SUMMARY...
Occasional damaging wind gusts and marginally severe hail are
expected across parts of the Northeast this afternoon. Isolated wind
damage will also be possible from parts of the Mid-Atlantic to the
Ozarks, and marginally severe wind/hail may occur near the Front
Range in Colorado and across the High Plains.
...Northeast States...
Initially isolated severe storms have already developed this morning
across western New York, and this risk should further
increase/develop eastward toward eastern New York and much of
western New England this afternoon. For additional short-term
details, see Mesoscale Discussion 1604.
A deep mid-level low over northern Ontario will continue generally
eastward toward northwest Quebec through tonight, with a
base-embedded mid/high-level speed max (50-60 kt at 500 mb) over the
Great Lakes transitioning east-northeastward. A related cold front
will also move eastward with further thunderstorm development
expected along/ahead of the front in addition to near a prefrontal
trough across parts of the Mid-Atlantic and southeast New York
vicinity.
Mid-level lapse rates were observed to be weak in 12z observed
upper-air data, but cloud breaks and a general prevalence of upper
60s F surface dewpoints will support upwards of 1000-1500 J/kg
MLCAPE as additional heating occurs. The aforementioned speed max
and tendency for strengthening winds aloft will maintain long and
relatively straight hodographs with 40-50 kt effective shear. This
will yield the possibility of a few supercells aside from more
prevalent clusters/linear segments, with damage as the most common
hazard. The overall severe risk should tend to diminish this evening
as storms encounter a narrower warm sector and more marginally
unstable air mass across Maine.
...Portions of the Mid-Atlantic to the Ozarks this afternoon...
Have adjusted severe wind probabilities a bit northward near the
Midwest synoptic front where severe-adequate destabilization may
occur. Farther south, widely scattered thunderstorms should also
form in the zone of differential heating, and the strongest storms
could produce isolated wind damage with downbursts. Wind profiles
will be relatively weak in the low-mid levels along the southern
periphery of the early clouds/convection from northern
Arkansas/southern Missouri to western Tennessee. However, strong
surface heating and steep low-level lapse rates south of the clouds
could support a few multicell storms/clusters capable of producing
isolated strong/damaging outflow gusts near and just after peak
heating.
...Eastern Colorado and central/southern High Plains...
Outflow with overnight convection has moved southwestward to the
Front Range in Colorado. Some clouds will linger across the eastern
Plains of Colorado, and vertical shear will be weaker with less
steep mid-level lapse rates compared to Wednesday afternoon. Still,
boundary-layer dewpoints near 60 F, pockets of surface heating, and
low-level upslope flow should support the development of scattered
thunderstorm clusters this afternoon near the Front Range. The
strongest storms will pose a threat for marginally severe hail and
isolated strong-severe outflow gusts.

Tropical Storm Georgette Discussion Number 5...Corrected
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082022
800 AM PDT Thu Jul 28 2022
Corrected typo in first paragraph
Georgette's structure on conventional satellite imagery remains
distinct this morning, with a small yet intense central dense
overcast with cloud tops as cold at -80 C near where the center is
estimated currently. The 1 minute GOES-17 data, in combination with
some cyclonically rotating GLM flashes, has been helpful in
determining the center location on first-light visible, which
appears more embedded in the convection than previously expected. A
1234 UTC SSMIS microwave pass also hints at this more embedded
structure. The initial intensity remains 45-kt in closest agreement
with the 1200 UTC Dvorak estimate from TAFB.
Georgette's center may have relocated a bit closer to the convection
this morning, but the current motion is still estimated at south of
due west at 260/9 kt. As previously discussed, a northeast to
southwest-oriented ridge should continue to steer Georgette
west-southwestward or southwestward for the next 12-24 hours, and
the guidance is in decent agreement of the track during this time
frame. However, after 24 hours, the track forecast becomes highly
problematic as the larger circulation of Frank approaches from the
east. The majority of the deterministic track aids respond to Frank
by quickly absorbing Georgette into its larger circulation, with the
trackers quickly shifting to the center of Frank between the 36-60
hour forecast. However, this apparent absorption solution is not a
done deal, and there is a non-negligible number of European ensemble
members that keep Georgette a distinct feature beyond the next 2-3
days. In addition, it is primarily the stronger and rightward
ensemble track members that have this solution, and Georgette is
already stronger and right-of-track compared to much of the
deterministic guidance this morning. For these reasons, the latest
track forecast was nudged further west compared to the previous one,
attempting to the account for the possibility that the
stronger-rightward ECMWF ensemble members could verify, and now
shows dissipation at 120 hours, which is a little later than the
previous forecast. Needless to say though, the track forecast has
higher-than-normal uncertainty due to the difficulty in forecasting
these binary TC interactions.
Intensity-wise, Georgette still could intensify a bit more today in
a moderate easterly shear environment while over 28-29 C sea-surface
temperatures. However, mid-level relative humidity diagnosed by
SHIPS guidance remains quite low, and the shear could still import
dry air into Georgette's tiny core and disrupt its current
convective structure. After today, the majority of the guidance
either maintains or weakens the tropical storm, and the latest
intensity forecast will continue to show a steady state 50-kt
tropical storm from 24-48 hours. Assuming Frank does get close to
Georgette, its easterly upper-level outflow and westerly low-level
inflow could further increase the shear after 48 hours, and gradual
weakening is shown after that time. At 120 hours, Georgette is
forecast to open up into a trough as Frank either absorbs it or
passes by to its north. The NHC intensity forecast is in closest
agreement to the latest LGEM guidance.
