Our heatwave was 90, 91, 90, 91.
-
Most of the heavier rain has missed me over the last couple days, but I still accumulated a decent 1.15".
-
A bunch of rain fell just north and west of Cedar Rapids last night into this morning, but it's all crapping out before reaching us. I hope we can get something decent tonight because the next week looks dry again.

Bentley/Guyer were the names listed.
-
We've only managed to hit 90, 91, 90 the last three days, so pretty tame.

The SPC put out a meso discussion this afternoon for southeast Iowa into northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, which included an 80% chance of a watch, which seemed odd. They were focusing on a band of cumulus through this area. However, the area is capped and no models have been predicting anything around here, only northern and western Iowa tonight. Nothing ever developed and the cumulus faded away.

DVN lowered us to 93 today, but we still came up short and hit 91.
-
The big question for us this week is when do the storms begin to reach our area. The Euro says Wednesday night, but other models say not til the weekend.
-
DVN had 95 for us today. We hit 90.

Why are the CAMs often bad with the lasting power and southward extent of an MCS like the one moving across Iowa this morning. Even as they rerun every 1-3 hours, they just can't see the south half of the line and keep trying to crap it out too quickly.

My rain total is 0.47", on the low end of guidance. This is about as awful as a June day can get. It feels like April. Let's get back to warm and humid with storms.
-
Models are trending south with the Sunday system. The CAMs are well south of my area with any storms. The Euro had been holding on a bit farther north, but it has caved this morning. I'm no longer expecting anything more than a light shower.
-
My rain total is 2.35". June is 8.37".
-
I've received another 2.1" of rain this morning. This puts June over 8". We are really getting clobbered this month.

60 mph is pretty common in severe storms. 74+ mph is not super rare, but it's much less common.
