1.8" of snow here. Looks like January out there lol. The paved areas are just wet though. Shows how warm the ground is, as temps were well below freezing during the entire event.
-
That Vince one literally makes me lol every time I see it.
-
It's happening! (Sorry too lazy to go look up the gif)
-
Had a few flurries earlier, snow squalls missed north/northeast today.
-
Wagons north

Would be funny if this somehow gave us our only warning criteria snowfall of the winter, but def not gonna happen.
-
Getting a nice mid-April snow squall atm. Yesterday's near 70 degree warmth now a distant memory.
-
Picked up 0.41" of rain last evening. No thunder.
-
Gave it a good run. MLI made it to 69, and we hit 67. Took advantage of it and got quite a bit done outside. Some decaying Iowa slopping seconds about to move in, along with the cold front.
-
And I was lucky enough to be in it.'

Looks like we have a shot at 70 today, with quite a bit of sunshine getting us off to a fast start this morning. HRRR has upper 60s, with dews near 60 later on. Could get a good storm with the passage of the front early this evening, and then cold and very windy tomorrow.
-
Yeah spring fever is in full bloom after the 80 degree warmth recently. The chilly next several days is gonna be hard to take. Many tree species have started to leaf out some, and most people have mowed at least once. One positive is maybe the cold will knock back the first batch of gnats and mosquitoes, which have been surprisingly prolific and frisky the past week.
-
Looks like fall streaks/virga underneath the tiny altocumulus patches. I'm guessing the right amount of moisture in that layer to produce that phenomenon.
-
Pass. Unless it's going to be noteworthy (like today's squalls for example) then this is just a nuisance.
-
Had a few very heavy showers of graupel around mid-afternoon. The shower that hit around 4pm was mostly snow, with a little graupel mixed in. That one was quite heavy as well, albeit brief. It's definitely been an entertaining afternoon, and a far cry from yesterday's upper 70s lol. MLI gusted to 58mph so far, hit 48mph on my home station, 5ft above the ground.
-
Ma nature balancing things out a bit, as we had that 3.5" deluge a few weeks ago. We were split again by today's activity. Did manage to pick up 0.01" though. Temp has crashed from 75 back to 53, with very gusty north winds. MLI made it to 79.
-
Almost 240 severe hail reports now, with over 30 2"+ hail reports. Extremely impressive. Numerous pics from Davenport and Bettendorf on local news fb pages showing hail between 2-3" in diameter. Baseballs were falling in fairly highly populated areas. Insurance adjusters are going to be busy for awhile in that area.
-
Already 170 severe hail reports today, with 17 of those at 2" or larger. Looks like this could have been a moderate, with hatched hail extended back into eastern IA. A definite overperformer to be sure, at least on the west end of things.
-
Dodged a major bullet here. Sup dropping golfballs veered just enough to miss this area, and nail Davenport, and now the northeast portion of the IL QC.
-
Yep, and RGEM as well. Big time fail for the NAMs.
-
Hoping those cells coming in from the Cedar Rapids area crap out, or veer a bit south. Don't want any part of golfball size hail. EDIT: SPC got a little too cute with their western portion of the storm outlooks. Numerous severe well west of even the marginal risk area.
-
Made it to 78 here, and 79 at MLI. Had quite a bit of cloud cover that lasted into early afternoon, otherwise low to mid 80s would have been likely. Nice thunderhead gracing the northern horizon, with a nice flank of TCU feeding in from the left (west-southwest). EDIT: Seen MLI hit 81 at 5:05 ob, so that should be at least 80.
-
I'm done with winter, but if it would do something like that I'd be down for it.
-
SPC removed most of north IL from the day 2 threat. Euro and RGEM both continue to develop some precip over the area, so I guess we'll have to see how things evolve.
-
3km NAM and HRRR are worlds apart with how tomorrow will be in the warm sector. The 3km NAM has us at 68 at 21z tomorrow, while the HRRR has us at 83. HRRR also mixes so deep that it lowers surface dews down below 60.
