I'm really liking the medium to long range. Ensembles are spitting out widespread 2-3" of precip across the region through 15 days as big troughs eject out of the west and the gulf is wide open.
-
Another long-duration light rain event produced 0.45" here. March is up to 1.00".
-
We got a much-needed 0.53".
-
This was a big ol' dud here. I got 0.02". The late-week system had better pan out.
-
Cedar Rapids officially hit 80º this afternoon.
-
The temp is up to 78º here, with low 80s across southeast Iowa. While still low, the 47º dewpoint is 15º higher than it was last week when we reached the 70s, so it feels more springy. We REALLY need to start getting some rain. It is very dry here.
-
We REALLY need March to be wet. There has been jack squat for precip since the big mid January snow and melt.
-
We have a wind chill of -17º this morning.
-
-
The HRRR has 74º here at 2pm, snow showers by midnight, and a -15º wind chill by sunrise Wednesday.
-
We are smashing records in Iowa. Cedar Rapids is up to 75º. The February record is 76º, set back in 2017.
-
The Euro has suddenly become much more progressive. It now has the pacnw trough completely bypassing the low off the SoCal coast, so, instead of digging and slowing, it races the trough eastward across the country.
-
I can't imagine we've had many February afternoons in the low 60s with a northwest wind.

Winter 2023/24 Medium/Long Range Discussion
hawkeye_wx replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I was looking forward to getting some good rain with storms next week, but the models have trended toward pushing everything to the east too quickly. The Ohio Valley and eastern Lakes get storms, but farther nw we get nothing. -
We are over-performing by several degrees today, now at 56º. It's going to be a very mild week.
