    12z GFS still sticking with a farther southeast track.

    The wind has been howling for 24 hours. We've had a couple thundershowers this morning, but they are racing through so quickly they aren't dropping much rain.

    12z Euro - Sunday storm The 00z run had Cedar Rapids in the middle of the band, so it has shifted back southeast somewhat.

    I picked up a nice 0.74" inches of rain overnight. I was not expecting more than a few tenths.

    Two runs in a row the euro has shown another upper midwest bomb cyclone at day 8/9.

    The euro is still teasing a snow event somewhere around here Sunday as the next low cuts northeastward. Other models are less aggressive/farther southeast.

    I did some outdoor work yesterday afternoon when the temp was 72º and I actually sweated a bit. This morning I received a nice half inch of rain from a batch of light thundershowers. It's nice to see the heart of spring finally here.

    Best day since October... sunny, low 70s, modest breeze.

    Latest euro snow precip map... quite the southward leap.

    I would LOVE to watch a couple feet of large, wet flakes dump on my yard in mid April. Then, I'd want it gone in 24 hours.

    The euro has been teasing and continues to tease a big snowstorm next week.

    Yeah, we had an epic several-week period from mid to late winter, but then it transitioned straight into a several-week period of blah. My March precip total is 1.84", a little below avg. My March snowfall total is 2.0". My 2018-19 season snowfall total will finish at 49.9".

    I need 0.1" of snow to reach 50" for the season. We may get one last chance on Saturday.

    The last little bits of the big snow piles in the shade(in the neighborhood yards) are now gone here. All that is left are the big parking lot snow piles. Even those are dwindling quickly.

    The NWS's flood outlook a couple weeks ago said there was a good chance the Cedar River would reach major flood stage this spring. Well, it's there now. The level has been upped a couple more feet and should crest just below where the major problems begin to occur.

    A band of heavy snow tonight dropped 1-3" in the Cedar Rapids area. I got 2". Unfortunately, I totally forgot about the snow and didn't see a single flake of it. The flakes must have been massive. This snow puts me 0.1" short of 50" for the season.

    This little pipsqueak disturbance may ruin my no-snow-after-February streak.

    The temperature across Iowa is underperforming today. The euro had 60 in Cedar Rapids this afternoon, but it's only 50. It had Waterloo in the mid 50s, but they are stuck at 43. We are not going to lose the snowpack for a while longer. The open areas are showing plenty of grass, but the yards are still covered with several inches in spots.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    My total is 0.85". Now I'm just waiting for the surge into the 50s and perhaps a thundershower later this afternoon.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    A nice cluster of thundershowers moved through east-central/southeast Iowa tonight. I experienced occasional lightning flashes for a good while, then a band of heavy rain dropped about 0.70".
  24. hawkeye_wx
    Our still-substantial snowpack held us down in the 30s. I'm more than ready for the strong south flow to throw 50s up here Wednesday. This glacier needs to go. It will feel much more like spring when I can look out the window and see green again.

    I picked up 0.50" of rain, short of what the models had been consistently spitting out. It also was barely above freezing all day, so very little snow melted.
