    BP down to 991mb here, and 990mb at MLI and DVN. Looks like the low center is passing a bit west of the QC, so prob 989mb somewhere between the obs. Have picked up 0.55" here. Things pretty much went as planned for this area. A benign event if you didn't know what was causing it. Still hoping for a few 35mph+ gusts between 6-9pm immediately following the center of circulation.

    And one minute later it commences to crap the bed.

    The heavy convective shower that's heading right at MLI is the type that could easily cause a brief spin-up with this setup.

    Good thing this is fairly progressive, as your area would really be in trouble otherwise. Still looks like an easy 2-4"+ rain there. Picked up a quick 0.18" so far with this first band. You can definitely tell PWs are through the roof. Raining in sheets, with 25-30mph east-southeasterlies. All we're missing are some palm trees lol.

    Just started raining for the first time today. Temp made it to 81, but will now drop back to the mid 70s. BP down to 998mb, and dropping steadily. Should bottom out around 989-990mb between 5-6pm. HRRR is backing off the brief strong winds immediately follow the SLP passage.

    Not in this sub, but out in Nebraska winds are gusting to 70mph at North Platte. Also 71mph in southeast CO at Springfield.
  7. cyclone77
    Winds gusting to 47mph in Decatur already. 42mph at Champaign.
  8. cyclone77
    Flash flood watch one county west, wind advisories one county east. Positioned perfectly in the lame zone for this thing. HRRR does show some strong winds immediately following the passage of the low early this evening. Surface low looks to go right through here.

    Upper levels suck but low/mid-levels are very nice, and with so much ambient vorticity I'd be happy to be on any discrete convective cell in that environment.

    Up to 6" of snow has fallen on I-80 in southeastern Wyoming this evening. Considerable amounts of snow falling over the higher terrain of Colorado. 55-60mph northerly winds are blasting over northeast Colorado as temps plummet through the 40s after being in the 70s and 80s earlier today. Pretty insane to be seeing this so late into the year. It can snow in these same places in <3 months.

    93 here and at DVN today, and 92 at MLI. Winds were southeasterly today and that explains why here/DVN was warmer than MLI. On days with southwest/west winds MLI is usually a few degrees warmer than both locations.

    Looks like Hawkeye won't be mentioning lack of heavy rain anymore for awhile. Looks like that area will be ground zero for 3-5" of rain. Looks like 1/2-1" or so here, as we'll be very close to the track. Maybe some 30-40mph gust potential. Normally pretty much would be a non-event, but the tropical aspect of it is pretty sweet.
  13. cyclone77
    Slight bump east on both the 3km NAM/HRRRV which brings the heaviest rains closer towards DVN. Another tick east and we'll be in the heaviest. Don't need the rain at all, but if we aren't gonna get the good winds might as well go for the heavy rains I guess lol.
  14. cyclone77
    The track of the Cristobal comes right through here the way it's looking. Looks like the heaviest rains miss to the west (which is good for this area), and the strongest winds miss to the east. Still a pretty cool system to watch though. We should have an over/under for strongest wind gust for a location that looks like it could be in for the highest winds, like ORD or something.
  15. cyclone77
    75mph wind gusts from northeast IL into southeast WI Tuesday night.
  16. cyclone77
    Pretty oppressive conditions in Le Mars Iowa this evening. 118 degrees with a 118 degree dewpoint. Current heat index is 363 degrees.
  17. cyclone77
    This is definitely looking like it's gonna be one to remember.
  18. cyclone77
    Getting some powerful cloud to ground strikes out of this anvil rain, just like last week. Long rumbler/house shakers. Storms dropped over 4" of rain west of the QC earlier in about 90 minutes. Looks like up to 3" of rain fell in the northeastern portion of the QC around the Hampton area. Definitely been an entertaining evening.
  19. cyclone77
    DVN just gusted to 61mph in a severe thunderstorm. Nice light show to the west/southwest atm.
  20. cyclone77
    Tagged 90 at MLI today. Made it to 89 here, which is the current temp, so 90 still possible. Another afternoon with boiling thunderheads in the skies. Seeing that never gets old. EDIT: Hit 90.
  21. cyclone77
    The Euro has a little wet snow mixing in up at Bo's on June 12th lol.
  22. cyclone77
    Pretty sweet thunderhead to the southwest from that nearly stationary severe storm west of the QC. Second severe storm of the day in the area, outside of the marginal risk zone.
  23. cyclone77
    And don't forget, cicadas will be caking the trees adding additional mass/surface area.
  24. cyclone77
    Finished with 0.87" here. 2024 will certainly be an exciting year. An even better total eclipse than 2017, and then the main batch of 17-year cicadas arriving. EDIT: Nice moisture convergence over Iowa. Mid 70 dews over southeast Iowa, whilst mid 40s up in the north-central part of the state.
  25. cyclone77
    We're under a severe warning, and we're not even in the marginal lol. About to get dumped on yet again.
