    The temp has fallen to 31º in my yard.

    I did not bother covering any plants tonight. It's too windy. I don't really like to do all that work this late in the season, anyway. I still have several flower pots in the garage for the hummers. They all appear to know how to use feeders, too.

    Another 0.82" of rain over here today. My October total is already 3.35". Locations just nw/n of Cedar Rapids have received nearly twice that.

    Picked up another 0.46" today on top of last night's 2.05". It's pretty wet around here. It's even wetter just north. I wish I could bottle this pattern and open it up in December.

    The sharp edge of the big rain event ended up in between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Iowa City got nothing while I got 2.04". Locations just north of CR got 3-4+".

    It is 81 with a dew of 73 here in Cedar Rapids. I think 73 may be a new October record.

    And there you go.... the 00z Euro has 99L getting caught under the ridge. It sends a strengthening system steadily wsw into Cuba, a la Ike.

    And just like that, it has been upgraded to TS Imelda.

    Models are suggesting the gulf could perk up in 7-10 days.

    COD is down, but there's an odd quirk. While I cannot make any fresh connections to the site, the two radar loops I had running yesterday when COD went down are still working and continue to refresh.

    I just saw a funnel cloud from my house... my first ever. I was outside at the end of my street, in an open area, when I saw what appeared to be a funnel dipping out of a small cell that had just popped. It drifted south and became better defined for 5+ minutes, then dissipated just as the sirens went off. It apparently came 3/4 of the way to the ground. The NWS is asking if anyone saw it touch down. Here in the city my view of the horizon was obstructed .

    The SPC is expecting the MCS to possibly strengthen this afternoon as central and eastern Iowa heat up and destabilize.
  13. hawkeye_wx
    Yeah, the CAMs insisted the morning MCS would crap out as it entered nw Iowa. So far it is holding together very well.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    Same here. I was outside taking a hummingbird feeder down when the gust front hit. I just held on.

    The HRRR can be a good model, but it appears to be terrible with these low-shear, cold-pool-driven MCSs. The model struggles to see them and refuses to keep them going beyond the first couple hours of each run.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    And the very next run has the MCS tracking from Missouri to the Ohio Valley.

    My county was severe-warned, but the wind maxed at only 30-35 mph.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    Well, so much for that. The severe potential has been shifted south and west. We've been downgraded.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    Tuesday evening looks pretty active over here. We're in the enhanced area now, but Des Moines thinks a further upgrade is possible.

    There is a strong tornado on ground just sw of Iowa City. KGAN has their chaser live right next to it, live on air. This is awesome.

    A hail core passed just south of Cedar Rapids. I received a bit of heavy rain, but no hail.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    There have been several nickel-size hail reports so far. Cedar Rapids was just put in a warning for the cell approaching from the sw.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    It's the new GFS.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    Anyone know what kind of building code they have in the Marianas?
  25. hawkeye_wx
    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.
