    5.25" according to his CoCoRaHS reports.

    Eventually got 0.29" out of yesterday's storms (another 0.18" today), but when it first started building overhead the drops were so big and infrequent it was actually evaporating off the patio faster than it was falling.

    LEW hit 34 knots so at least you aren't being a

    Same thing happened to me (after the bastards got me and the mower). Fired off a can of raid into the swarm origin point and sometime in the next 48 hours something found the free meal and dug up the rest of the nest.

    I kind of feel that way about all my home improvement projects. Front walkway? Deck? Solar panels?

    You'll find advice both ways, but the key is your interest rate. If you can earn more return by investing than the interest rate on your debt, you should invest.

    No hazard pay for the sweaty kids in June either.

    Awkward to handle for sure.

    Phone lines went down and that's usually how we get ASOS obs out. 50+ knots for 30 minutes and counting.

    I believe AWG was 126 mph in the June 1998 derecho.

    They are one of the best counties at reporting storm damage too.

    Someone's backyard station measured 106 mph east of Marshalltown.

    Mesovortices in QLCS type events is a result of line normal bulk shear in the 0-3 km layer. If you can get 30+ knots of shear normal to the line, they are likely to form. Sometimes they result in tornadoes if other ingredients are in place, but more often just enhance wind locally due to pressure perturbations.

    Unless policy has changed the QCA has siren activation at 70+ and many surrounding towns had begun to adopt it.

    Looks like another formed near MIW (causing the 99 mph gust) and now a new descending RIJ has bowed out the line up there. And the new cells are forming because you've still got some nocturnal LLJ riding up and over the cold pool, which at this point is pretty large.

    It looks like that gust was part of a mesovortex that formed a little north of town. Probably locally enhanced the wind, but looks like it has also set off a new descending RIJ that is now bowing the line out in the area between I-80 and Highway 30.

    MIW measures 99 mph. That's good stuff.

    To me it looks like a mesovortex forms in the line around Jefferson, IA, and that development kicked off the expansion of the inflow jet aloft. Once it started descending (reflectivity behind the line starts to weaken) that line surges forward through DSM.

    Temps. Warm days, cool nights, less favorable time of year for weeds as well. Up here that's typically late August to early September, but as you push south it moves deeper into September.

    Paul, you want to watch a real deal RIJ form you just loop that radar through DSM. I'm pretty sure a mesovortex developed and set the whole thing off as it crossed through the city.
  21. OceanStWx
    Man, I miss these events. Coming right down I-80 at the old WFO.
  22. OceanStWx
    Some sort of moisture boundary sitting there through DVN's CWA (upper 70s south, low to mid 70s north) and heating both sides of it. Some serious potential here.

    Honestly me too. Give me an extended fall though, still would like to overseed and get some stone work done.

    Swamp maple in my neighbors yard is already turning red and throwing leaves.
