  1. Just had a quick hitting downpour that quickly dropped another 0.36". Up to 0.54" since last evening. 3.01" for Aug now.
  2. 0.18" rain this evening. Bigtime flash flooding west of Muscatine where over 8" probably fell near Conesville.
  3. Vinyl siding will be deemed unacceptable by building codes, as it shall melt in the sweltering summer heat.
  4. I remember '88 well, it was the hottest summer by far that I've experienced. '12 gave it a good run. Guess I don't sense the mean very well, as it doesn't seem like it's gotten any warmer at all since I was a youngin'.
  5. That would be a fun one. There was one in like 08 that dropped 4-5" IIRC. EDIT: Found it, Ike from 08.
  6. Yeah, we usually get teased with a quick curve and miss just southeast, but have been nailed a few times in the past. I'm def fiending for an all day steady rain, like what's going on in southern IA today. Guess that means I'm about ready for Fall lol.
  7. I'm ready for a 6" rainer from some tropical remnants.
  8. Didn't realize how cool it was in the northeastern sub. Quite different around here today, as it felt pretty toasty. Hit 86 and had dews in the mid 70s. Was pretty depressing this evening watching the towering cumulus above feebly attempt to build upwards into something more. Atmosphere didn't have enough mojo this afternoon/evening to get it done. SPC's 2% nader risk was a bit optimistic lol. Tough stretch for those peeps.
  9. Overcast most of the day, and only made it to 71. A few sprinkles the past hour or so as well. Almost a little taste of Fall, especially with preseason football on TV lol. Saw what I'm pretty sure was a bobcat on the way home earlier just off I-88. Didn't think we had any of those around here. Definitely way too big to be a tom cat, and was definitely a cat of some kind.
  10. The high-res Canadian did pretty decent with this. From what I've seen it's been the best short-term model this season for placement of convective events.
  11. Only if u include some model maps of the southeast
  12. 0.64" this morning. Combined with yesterday's 1.59" a nice 2.23" 2-day soaker.
  13. There's a report of 8" in Freeport IL. Nice soaker here this morning, picked up 1.22" and counting.
  14. Dew has been 80+ at MLI for the past 7 hours. The 2pm ob had 79, otherwise it would be 9hrs in a row.
  15. Dew hit 81 at MLI and 82 at Sterling. Corn crops are starting to show signs of losing green as we're getting to that point in the season. Corn evapotranspiration still in full force but it's going to drop off quite a bit going forward.
  16. This is the 4th day we've tagged 80 this year. June 13, July 5, July 23, and today. MLI has 3 80 degree dew days now. June 13, July 23, and today. They had 79 dew July 4th. The dew of 73 combined with 96 temp back on May 11 is probably the most impressive stat though. Getting a temp that high that early is tough, but simultaneous with dews that high was insane.
  17. Dewpoint up to 80 with a heat index of 111 atm here. It'd be even worse if these clouds weren't around to keep temps in the lower 90s.
  18. I'm going with 105 in Cedar Rapids.
