    Now up to 6 confirmed tornadoes, all EF1. Four of them were within 15 miles of here in all different directions, another one about 25 miles away. Too close for comfort lol.

    DVN has confirmed two EF1 tors in Mercer county, just south of the QCA from yesterday.

    Today's 73 is a distant memory now as it's down to 35 with a wind chill of 26. Picked up 0.55" with the severe storm this afternoon.

    New record high at MLI today of 74, and now the 8th 70 degree day in a row. That record will be hard to top. They also gusted to 64mph earlier as well.

    Had 60+ mph winds at work with near zero visibility for a few minutes. We were under a tornado warning at the time. Guessing we had 60mph winds here at home as well. Definitely the 2nd best storm of the year.

    75 here today, 76 at MLI. New record stretch of 70+ degree days in a row in Nov for MLI (7).
  7. cyclone77
    68 degrees at midnight on Nov 9th. Pretty impressive.
  8. cyclone77
    6th 70+ degree day in a row here. Another on the way for tomorrow. MLI hit 76 today. That latest 80 at MLI is Nov 1st, so they gave that record a good run.
  9. cyclone77
    New record high of 76 today at MLI.

    MLI hit 73 for the 3rd day in a row. 71/73/71 in that stretch. Very nice albeit boring weather.
  11. cyclone77
    73 at MLI today, 71 here. More of the same on the way.

    Very windy this morning, with gusts up to 40mph. Pretty much taking care of the remaining leaves on the late trees. Gonna gamble and plant a sugar maple out back. It says you're supposed to plant at least a month before the ground freezes, so I may have waited a bit too late.

    A lot of the area trees are past peak color now, but some of the late turners are still looking quite nice, like the hard maples etc. The Autumn Blaze out front is at peak now, and will probably be bare in a week or two.
  14. cyclone77
    First measurable snow of the season early this morning with 0.3". Looks nice with the trees still holding on to some color. Chance for some cold rain Thu, but other than that it looks pretty quiet into next week.
  15. cyclone77
    0.15" overnight/this morning as the storms mostly crapped the bed before getting here, which the models had predicted. Back to reality today with the cold weather.
  16. cyclone77
    Yeah it was a crazy change. Opened up the garage late this afternoon and everything fogged up instantly, as it was probably a good 15 degrees cooler in there, with mid 60 dewpoint air rushing in. Still 70/62 as we approach 11pm, with a ripping south breeze. Party's about over though, as the CF is already passing through Muscatine.

    Impressive temp (and dewpoint) contrast across Iowa this eve.
  18. cyclone77
    MLI made it to 80 late this afternoon. Hit 77 here. Dews in the mid 60s is making it feel pretty muggy out there. Quite the change from the low 50s around midday.
  19. cyclone77
    Finished with 1.86", nice soaker.

    Cedar Rapids is dead center in the middle of the slight risk today. Cedar Rapids is killing it this year. Derecho, multiple early season snows, epicenter of potential severe today. If luck continues maybe you guys can breach the 1ft mark for a snowstorm this winter.
  21. cyclone77
    Pretty entertaining evening with lots of lightning flashes, and slow-rolling thunder. Hasn't been too much rain yet (0.22") but chances for good downpours the rest of the night.
  22. cyclone77
    Elevated showers/storms working in here. Could be some nice downpours this evening. Looking forward to the mid-upper 70s tomorrow.
  23. cyclone77
    Day 3 marginal risk for areas that received significant snow yesterday. Temps/dews will be well into the 70s/60s. Quite the turnaround.
  24. cyclone77
    Very impressive! Great start to the new season. Temps crashed from 41 to 33 here as the snow moved in. Had a brief period of moderate snow. No accum but very nice to see a daytime snow event in mid Oct. Had a burst of sleet with a convective shower at the tail-end.
  25. cyclone77
    Pretty impressive stuff with that band out in central Iowa. Lightning icing on the cake. 41 here with some filtered sun. Ever so slight chance we could see some wet flakes if we can precipitate hard enough, but doesn't look very likely. First flakes may have to wait another week plus if it doesn't work out this afternoon.
