    Wow, that is spectacular!

    We have not had a frost or freeze, yet. Monday morning is our next chance.

    The CR airport hit 32 early in the night, but we came up short in the city. Clouds moved in by 2am and held us around 34. I did see flakes this morning, but just a few tiny specks that were barely noticeable.

    The local mets were all on tv for four hours this afternoon/evening due to the tornado warnings. However, all they really did was follow wall clouds across the area. One met, Terry Swails, seemed bored by evening and was clearly ready for a break.

    I picked up 1.57" yesterday and, especially, overnight.

    I've been casually paying attention to Leslie. However, I didn't realize until now that it might be snaking around the Atlantic for another 10 days. That's pretty nuts.

    Only 0.67" here overnight. I thought Chicago would do better, but most of it passed north.

    I did very well in September with regard to heavy rainfall. I was pretty excited about the prospect of another multi-day deluge. The first week of October, however, has been a dud. A few days ago very heavy rain set up just north and now tonight it's setting up just south. In between, we've received squat.

    I only picked up 0.21 last evening. All the heavy stuff passed north and east. Models keep pushing back our heavy rain. Now, it's Friday and then again next week.

    I finished September with 9.38" of rain... and that's after 7.36" in August. October should at least start pretty wet.

    Only upper 30s here this morning, with some clouds, so no frost.

    With the euro doubling its runs, I'm going to have to make a real effort to get up and exercise or do something else once in a while. I already get too stuck in my computer chair during tropical/winter storm action.

    I hope the Saturday morning low doesn't gradually fall over the next few days like it often seems to. Upper 30s would be great, because I wouldn't have to worry about my garden. Mid 30s I have to start covering stuff.

    I went for a walk around the neighborhood and saw a larger tree with a 30 ft long, 12" diameter side branch/trunk down a couple blocks away.

    My garden really took a beating. One of my big hummer plants was partially broken and another was snapped off near the base. There may be more damage once I more closely examine the garden. Little bits of tree debris are strewn across the yard, with a few bigger pieces mixed in. A neighbor lost a 4.5" limb off one of his trees. I was expecting the severe wind to come from the west, but it oddly came more from the south, which was bad for my garden.

    Just received my first severe wind in years..... probably 70 mph.

    Cedar Rapids is now warned. There may be a bit of bowing out just west of CR.

    Trami was an awesome super typhoon, but once it stalled it didn't take long for the upwelled cool water to hollow out the core.

    The storms are already pretty frisky-looking out in central Iowa, despite no heating. Even here in CR, we've been socked in with clouds all morning so our heating may be minimal. There's more sun and heating in the Burlington to QC area.

    One more good shower boosted my rain total to 1.90".
  21. hawkeye_wx
    A couple potent lead cells and the main line of storms have dropped 1.6" of rain on my yard so far today.

    Regarding the upper level conditions, four days ago the NHC discussions talked about day 2 being the best, allowing Florence to max out at 150 mph, and then shear would pick up some as it approached the coast, leading to some weakening. The opposite happened. Shear knocked it down on day 2 and diminished as it approached the coast.

    I'm still not seeing any recon SFMR data higher than 75 kts anywhere in the very flat wind field. 100 mph is pretty generous.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    I don't think that big gulp of dry air swirling around in the core will allow the inner core reorganization to proceed very far, but recon did just find 84 kts at the surface in the north quad, which is a bit higher than they've found in a while.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    It's unclear how successful it'll be, with pockets of dry air still pinwheeling around in there, but Florence appears to be trying to rebuild the inner core.
