As per usual the first round crapped out on approach. Should reform to the east and hit the same areas that usually get it.
Next chance will be early tomorrow morning.
Dews here have jumped back into the 80s as the dormant boundary approaches. Feeble cumulus flailing in failure along the boundary as it approaches the QCA.
EDIT: And now that the boundary is southeast of us it has ignited several storms.
Chicago and Cedar Rapids sure seem to reel them in don't they?
Made it to 97 here today with a peak dew of 82. MLI tagged 96 for the hottest temp of the year so far.
Sioux City ASOS site hit 83 degree dewpoint earlier this evening, and hit 119 for heat index. Tremendous pool of 80+ degree dews from southwest MN down into northeastern KS.
Another 4-5" rain event just north of Des Moines today. That area has been hammered this summer. Somewhere in that area has probably had 20+ inches of rain in the past two months.
