Another 0.66" this evening brings the total for today to 1.32", and 5.56" for April. Have had 5.97" since the last day of March. EDIT: Another 0.34" overnight brings April to 5.90".

A couple of bird fart tors may have dropped southwest of the QC over the past half hour.

Not surprised that there's a tornado warning north of Dixon. Those showers moved over here an hour or so ago and even when they were weak you could see everything had nice blocky bases. LCLs are pretty low in northern IL as well.

Managed to scrounge up 0.54" from the early morning elevated leftovers. Brings April up to 4.78". Today/this evening has been looking like our best shot for heavy rains all along, and still looks that way.

lol at SPC maintaining 10% tor probs in this area with the 8pm update while simultaneously the nader watch got dropped.

Snoozefest for QCA as expected. May get some late night sloppy seconds as llj ramps up.

QC area and here will likely be saved by the cap.

Looks like storms will mostly stay north and east today like yesterday. We'll give it another shot tomorrow with that next round.

Nice tennis ball/baseball hailer south of Minneapolis this afternoon.

Picked up 0.01" as storms crapped out on the doorstep. New ones fired just east. More storm ops on the way though.

best climo?

Wussy light rains here today totaling 0.13". Tomorrow the rains will miss north and east, but later Tuesday the better rain chances return.

Have a shot at our first 70 degree dew Tue or Wed. This would be less than a month after the blizzard on March 16th.

Last coolish day before several warm and humid days coming in. Low temps will hold in the 60s for several nights. Awaiting a dying Iowa blob of anvil rains this afternoon.

From 3 days in a row down to just 1 now, but better than nothing I guess.
