  1. That would be a fun one. There was one in like 08 that dropped 4-5" IIRC. EDIT: Found it, Ike from 08.
  2. 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.
  3. I'm ready for a 6" rainer from some tropical remnants.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Only if u include some model maps of the southeast
  8. 0.64" this morning. Combined with yesterday's 1.59" a nice 2.23" 2-day soaker.
  9. There's a report of 8" in Freeport IL. Nice soaker here this morning, picked up 1.22" and counting.
  10. Dew has been 80+ at MLI for the past 7 hours. The 2pm ob had 79, otherwise it would be 9hrs in a row.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I'm going with 105 in Cedar Rapids.
  15. Interesting. You made me check ours and have the same result. Had 4 AOA 90 degree days in May, and 3 in July.
  16. Still 87 degrees with 93 heat index at 1am in Des Moines.
  17. Heat indices still in the upper 90s to near 100 from central MN into western WI as of 10pm which is pretty impressive. Lawn has really browned up over the past few weeks. Looks like tomorrow's rains will skip over this area. The mower is going to get a good long break it appears. Luckily the area crops have had a great growing season up until recently, so the ongoing dry spell shouldn't matter at all at this late in the growing season.
