  1. Days are getting shorter even faster since the sun sets within the bank of smoke 10-15 minutes earlier than the horizon line every evening.
  2. Our nice little respite from the tropics is about over. Dews return to near 70 Wed, and probably deep into the 70s again next week.
  3. All the way down to 52 here this morning. Was a great night to have the windows open to let some of the smoke in. Pretty interesting tidbit from DVN regarding the recent stretch of high humidity... In fact, Moline, Dubuque, and Cedar Rapids saw their most consecutive days of 65+ degree dewpoints since 1997 with over 40 days in a row!
  4. Not sure what's up with DVN reporting sites not showing smoke like the other cwas are. It's been smoky as hell all day lol.
  5. Man you should have taken Beavis with you.
  6. Only 0.42" from the first two waves this morning, but just had a slow-moving thunderless shower dump over an inch in a half hour. Up to 1.56" for the day, 6.99" for July. MLI and DVN are both well over 9 inches for the month now.
  7. Picked up 0.08" from the first round of dying Iowa scraps. The incoming 2nd round should hold together though.
  8. Sweet shots! Now I'm gonna have to dig the Xbox out after seeing that lol
  9. Did you play that Banff Springs golf course? Played that many times over the years on various golf games.
  10. Picked up 0.15" anvil rain/ISS early this morning. Up to 5.42" for July now. As of yesterday MLI/DVN was at 8.74"/8.21" for July.
  11. Yeah that big MCS last night definitely saved us for today humidity wise. Was looking like a shoe-in for 80+ dews today, but stayed mid 70s. Was quite refreshing lol.
  12. More late night Iowa sloppy seconds to look forward to, yipeee!
  13. Yeah, Iowa's going to cash in again for the 95th time this summer.
  14. That's going to feel amazing after a nearly 2 week streak of 70-80 degree dews.
  15. After hitting the QC with heavy downpours, the once robust cluster of storms has quickly transformed to (you guessed it) anvil rains on final approach. This is all bonus anyway as I didn't really think we'd get anything after the morning stuff departed.
  16. I've tossed around the idea of changing my user name to anvil rain lol
  17. Nice round of anvil rains this morning. 2-day total up to 0.64". Getting closer to the 5" mark for July.
  18. Nice clump of MCV convection slowly swirling this way. Putting down quite a bit of rain along it's swath out over Iowa. EDIT: Jinxed it. It's on the decline now on approach lol EDIT2: Had a period of gentle anvil rain. Picked up 0.14". Good chance the late night stuff hits us good though with some heavy rainfall potential then.
  19. Getting some consolation showers. Picked up 0.13".
  20. lol, maybe the 2020 derecho as well. We really don't need the rain anyway (over 4" for July), so it's all good.
  21. The Iowa stuff is crapping the bed. The new stuff should fire off to the east/south later today. Looking like a skip-over for this area with this one.
  22. First 80 degree dew of the year in the bag here.
  23. We're gonna put together a pretty impressive streak of daily 70+ dews. May make a run at a 2 week streak. Also will be some 80+ days mixed in as well. Signs we may see some relief around the 31st when we finally get a blast of drier air.
  24. Picked up 0.39" early this morning. Now up to 4.12" for July. MLI and DVN are both over 5.5" now.
