It is hard to explain. I have asked all the supposed experts at the Nat. weahter service offices. they have no clue? The"cool fronts" that have come thru have had little energy anywhere in the mid-west past two months, except up in Minn and Wis. Where it has rained consistently,The active Jet streams usually retreat up there with summer heat. That made sense. The rains down in our area have been exclusively produced by the,"Ring Of Fire". a scenario that produces complexes of T-Storms that originate in Neb or Dakotas and follow the edge of the extreme heat. In July,,when extreme heat was in Iowa, Ring of Fire was up in Minn. When heat abated, it moved to Sw Iowa and East Neb, down into MO. This went on from End of July until this morn. Complex after Complex hit West Iowa up to I-35, then down into Mo. Each one could not come east. Alot of them tried. Getting almost to Ottumwa before dieing. Usually a few will come along the IA-Mo border east, but none would. Then today Heat returned, but this Morning ring a Fire, jumped north, and set up over N Iowa and Minn, then dropped down thru, Quad Cities and Ill, but just east of SE Iowa and West Ill. this crazy pattern shows no signs of change. I know,,This is alot of detail,,guess should have been a meteorologist. would have but you have to be good in math. Counted me out. Now that corn and beans and food plots are lost,,next thing are trees. If they go into winter stressed, can die next spring..Not good.
