    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.

    Several stations in the area touched 90º yesterday, but Cedar Rapids came up just short.

    There continues to be an impressive band of training storms from Peoria to south of Chicago. There are stations in the northern Peoria area with 5+". These same locations may get more training storms tonight and end up with very impressive rain totals.

    A nice cell dropped 0.35" in my yard last night. There is potential for a couple more heavy rain events late this week into next week.

    Getting put in a slight risk area has had very poor results here this year.

    1.08" here overnight and this morning.

    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.

    Stockton, IL, in the far northwest, has received a 12.03" of rain over the first two weeks of September.

    I picked up 0.40". The real heavy stuff missed just south. I've had several moderate rain events this month totaling 2.41".

    All week, models had been advertising a nice line of storms pushing through Iowa today, but they pretty much skipped by Cedar Rapids. I picked up a tenth or so. Dubuque took the brunt last night and again tonight.

    Another nice cell overnight boosted my 3-day total to 1.60". Much, if not all, of the action over the next 24+ hours should be north.

    After becoming quite dry again recently, I picked up 0.51" of rain yesterday and another 0.78" this morning. We may get more later.

    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.
  20. 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.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    Same here. I was outside taking a hummingbird feeder down when the gust front hit. I just held on.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    I like DST.
  24. 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.
