    Hmmm, after seeing your pics I'm gonna change my name to lotterywinner

    Finished with 0.58"

    Most of this afternoon/evening's activity has skirted this immediate area, but a nice cell just hit with a brief torrential downpour and some sleet sized hail. Picked up a quick 1/4" of rain.
  4. cyclone77
    Over 20 severe hail reports so far in IA/IL/MO/WI. Looks like a slight risk definitely would've been warranted. No severe watch either. EDIT: Now over 30 reports of severe hail.
  5. cyclone77
    Yeah I lol'd. Not sure what that was all about. Did see some pretty nice supercell structures, including the eastern QC tor warned hailer a short while ago.

    Another new record high today at MLI at 77. Hit 76 here.
  7. cyclone77
    Had a 40-50ft section of one of the south Hackberry trees split off this afternoon. About 15" diameter at the attachment. Made it to 76 here, 79 at MLI. May make another run at 80 tomorrow.
  8. cyclone77
    58mph at the Iowa City ASOS recently. Winds are pushing 50mph here. DVN laid an egg by not including more of the IL counties in the wind advisory.
  9. cyclone77
    40-45mph southerly gusts out there, with a temp of 74 already here, and 76 at MLI. Lots of blowing dust out in the open country.
  10. cyclone77
    Mid to upper 60s today, and another run at 80 tomorrow. It's as dry as a desert so the sky's the limit wrt temp potential.

    Sad to see, but what a great career. Grew up watching him like so many others. Unfortunately couldn't see his forecasts on TV anymore after WGN America became a thing, and WGN news wasn't available to us outside of Chicagoland. That happened 10 years ago or so IIRC. Hopefully he has a relaxing/long retirement.

    Saw a few flurries fluttering down from scattered statocu early this morning. Only made it to 30 here today, 47 degrees colder than yesterday's high. EDIT: With 0.13" of precip, this is the driest Feb I can remember here. MLI picked up a little rain yesterday and that bumped them up to a lofty 0.26". DVN has 0.18". Snowfall this month will total 0.3" here, with 0.6"/0.5" at MLI/DVN.
  13. cyclone77
    Looks like the snow threat crapped the bed tonight, but the temp crash has still been impressive. Most areas have crashed over 50 degrees already from 8-9 hours ago, with wind chill values making it feel over 60 degrees colder.
  14. cyclone77
    An unbelievable 79 at MLI today, hit 77 here. Out the south window at work literally watched the southern sky go from clear to filled with towering cu in a matter of a half hour. Would have made for an amazing time lapse. EDIT: Cold front just slammed through. Outside you could literally hear it coming, as it was nearly dead calm as it came in.

    This is gonna be like high plains Colorado kind of action. All we need is a landspout tomorrow afternoon from the high-based convection here west of the main moisture axis lol
  16. cyclone77
    Tomorrow could be a day in which we see mid-upper 70s in the afternoon, and snow on the same calendar day if it arrives before midnight like some of the guidance shows.
  17. cyclone77
    MLI ended up breaking the February and also the meteorological winter all-time high with today's 76. Beat the "regular" record by 10 degrees lol.
  18. cyclone77
    The all-time Feb high at MLI is 74, and the all-time meteorological winter record high is 75. Both of those will probably be tied or broken tomorrow. Many other sites in the DVN cwa will see the same as their records are attainable as well.
  19. cyclone77
    From a chasing standpoint this system might not be so good as initiation looks to hold off until near or after sunset. That LaSalle/Joliet/Champaign triangle does look like a decent chance for a tor though.
  20. cyclone77
    Near 70 tomorrow, and maybe mid 70s on Tue which will both be new record highs. Looks like much of the sub will return to the 70s next weekend.
  21. cyclone77
    Picked up a T here and at MLI/DVN. Not sure what the records are for least snowy February but MLI will probably be in the top 5 with their 0.6" lol.
  22. cyclone77
    56 here this afternoon, but snowing lightly this evening. Temp has crashed back to freezing.
  23. cyclone77
    Looking pretty dry for the next 10 days for much of the DVN area. Have 0.12" for Feb here, so may finish with <0.25" of precip.
  24. cyclone77
    MLI hit 66 today, DVN 65, hit 61 here. We're getting spoiled as this doesn't really feel that special/unusual anymore lol.
  25. cyclone77
    Models are showing a 50 degree drop in high temps over much of Iowa between Tue-Wed next week. Around Des Moines they go from a high in mid 70s Tue, to a high in the mid 20s on Wed, with teens still holding on at midday. That would/will be a brutal slap in the face.
