    Yeah, the trend has been to sag the mid to late-week heavy rain south, with less heavy stuff here.

    I'm thinking the eye-like feature may be mostly aloft. The rest of the core on radar just doesn't really match up with that kind of intensity, and neither does the satellite presentation. There's also a buoy near the coast just north of the center and it still says 1014 mb.

    I'm hoping Gordon's remnants can get up to Iowa. We obviously don't need the rain, but it's a rare occurrence for this area. They almost always veer east before reaching Iowa.

    The euro continues to be extremely bullish with the rain through the entire week. While the GFS, and even the Canadian, have been hinting the rain may be swept away to the east and south as early as Wednesday night, the euro keeps an upper disturbance parked over NE/KS/IA, which pumps high moisture into Iowa like a conveyor. Today's 12z run has widespread 5-12 inches of rain across the state through Saturday.

    The first two nights of storms and heavy rain have really dumped on some areas, but Cedar Rapids has been stuck in the dry hole, just downstream of the heavy storms, both nights. I was only able to get 0.12" last night.

    No 90s in Cedar Rapids in August.

    Well, we certainly didn't end up dry as a big MCS plowed across Iowa. However, I did kinda get screwed and ended up in a dry pocket when the backbuilding back edge stalled to the west and stuck Cedar Rapids in lighter rain. I picked up 0.87" once the storms morphed into a steady rain shield. Even now, the back edge is trying to re-energize and miss north.

    I'm actually getting a bit worried about the first round. Tonight was going to be our first big night, but the latest 3k nam and hrrr show nothing here. They have convection blowing up over sw Iowa, which would then move east and southeast, leaving us dry. Heck, the 3k nam also has nothing Saturday night.

    Well, the first half of this September certainly shouldn't be zzzzz around here. There should be good storm action nearly every day in the region.

    The models have become extremely active over the next couple weeks as the front just keeps waving north and south. The euro is putting out big rainfall across the upper midwest.

    The line of storms that moved through here this evening was fairly tame. I picked up a half inch of rain, with very little wind, and some decent lightning on the back edge. All the real action was in the Iowa City area. I'm over 7 inches of rain for the month.

    Cyclone is back!

    The euro continues to try to develop something in the Bahamas/Gulf early next week.

    The southern crap in Iowa probably ruined it for my area today. Light showers and thick clouds put the kibosh on our instability. HRRR runs all day have kept the heavy stuff mostly north and south. The sun is poking out ahead of the sw IA broken line, so perhaps that can surge into this area later.

    Yeah, it's been over a month since cyclone posted. I messaged him a few days ago, but he hasn't responded. His weather station is still live on Wunderground, so I'm guessing this summer's boring weather got to him and/or he has other more important stuff going on.

    Several downpours today dumped a total of 2.35" on my yard. It's my heaviest one-day rain event of the year.

    This system's deformation band has dumped 8-10 inches of rain near the Missouri river in the Omaha area over the last thirty hours. Scattered cells around here are dumping pretty heavy rain, but they've been too brief. I got a quick half inch first thing this morning, but reaching an inch has been more of a struggle than I expected.

    Cedar Rapids got hit pretty good this evening. I picked up 1.60" of rain, while the north to northeast side received 3+".
  19. hawkeye_wx
    Thankfully, the storms sank far enough south overnight to get Cedar Rapids. I picked up 1.23". I had only received 0.31" over the last 16 days and the next ten days look dry, so this is much-needed.

    The drought region of southern Iowa hit the mid to upper 90s this afternoon. We surged to about 90(dew of 74) once the earlier storms moved out, but more storms and clouds have moved in. DVN has become more bullish on storms and heavy rain sinking farther south tonight than what models have been showing(models have missed all the storms in Iowa today). I hope that pans out because it is becoming dry here, and it may not rain again through day 10 once tonight is over.

    I never got into any real heavy rain, but steady moderate rain with an occasional low-end heavy downpour added up to 1.19" over several hours. The sky has cleared behind the rain, but it's still only in the mid 60s.

    There's a robust MCS ongoing over here this morning. It's the classic back-building, storms-on-the-back-edge scenario. I've been on the front edge, so it's just a solid slow-soaker here. An area just southwest of Cedar Rapids has received 2-3 inches of rain this morning, with more heavy rain popping over them. It's going to take a while for this stuff to dissipate, so afternoon instability is iffy.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    Some overnight rain boosted my total to a decent 0.66", our first rainfall in nearly two weeks.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    It appears cyclone got hit with a pretty good line.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    Cedar Rapids was severe-warned in the last hour, but the heavy cell missed north. I got nothing.
