    June was boring, but the last several weeks have been one of our most interesting summer stretches in years. The recent break has been nice, although it has remained somewhat humid. That is finally over at about 9am this morning when the strong front moves through.

    The pressure has risen all the way up to 930 mb.

    90/80 here in Cedar Rapids. This is as hot as it has been all summer.

    I sure would love to have a plane in there right now. The CDO is looking vicious.

    Erin appears to be strengthening a bit again. The ring around the center has become more uniform and the cloud tops have cooled.

    919 mb extrap, 156 kts FL wind

    Now 922 mb extrap, 156 kts flight level wind. The inner core remains extremely tight, with no sign of any outer wind max beginning to develop.
  8. hawkeye_wx
    Now 925 mb (both extrap and dropsonde)

    I got yet another 1.44" of rain from this storm. This was expected to be a totally dry week. My August total is up to 4.32". Over the last six weeks my total is nearly 13 inches.

    Models did a terrible job forecasting this. The HRRR literally had nothing making it to eastern Iowa only a few hours ago. The RRFS had something small passing across northeast Iowa.

    Holy cow, what a storm! This reminds me of the derecho. It briefly poured half-inch size hail, then 70 mph wind blasted through. I couldn't even see the houses across the street. Thankfully, our hail was only half-inch size. A spotter only a mile away reported ping-pong ball size.

    For the last six weeks, we have gotten everything. Today was a nothingburger, but the storms have way outperformed the model forecast. It is dark as night right now as the storms move in.

    The latest recon pass found the wind north of the center is up to 72 kts at flight level. The shear has abated and convection is attempting to wrap around the center. It should become a hurricane this afternoon.
