    Yay, this morning's rain event did not crap out. I am approaching an inch, which is very much needed. There is no lightning/thunder, so it's not exciting, but I'll take a gentle soaker.

    The storms popped just barely south of me today, so I got nothing. We average over 5 inches in June, but I've only received 2".

    All the storms went around me this evening.

    At the last minute this evening, as isolated cells were dying out, one more heavy cell popped right over me and dumped 0.43". My daily total is 1.16". We needed that.

    An area of decent rain popped in my area overnight into this morning. I picked up a welcome 0.73". Much heavier rain fell just south, where some locations got 2-3".

    The rain really shut off when the calendar flipped to June. I've received only 1.03", with most of that falling on June 1st. Ottumwa has received only about 0.20" all month. The overnight rain was another bust. The storms out west crapped out long before reaching eastern Iowa. There's just not much support.

    It was 92º with a dew in the upper 60s here today, with wind, so it's wasn't bad.

    The next ten days look wet and exciting in the nw sub, while the rest of the sub sees little or nothing.

    I only received 0.11" of rain from the early week system, so pretty much a bust. Today the wind is gusting over 45 mph. I had to move a bunch of my newly-planted flower pots into the garage to prevent them from being ripped apart.

    My May rain total is 6.03, our wettest month since October '21.

    The extended looks very dry. The second half of June will have to be busy to make up for first half.

    Models significantly under-predicted the rain event across eastern Iowa this morning. I was expecting just enough rain to wet the ground, but ended up with several hours of light to moderate rain totaling 0.64".

    As of today, the drought in Iowa is officially gone.

    Small showers repeatedly popped around here today, keeping us wet. My grand total for today is 1.07". My May total is up to 5.52".
  15. hawkeye_wx
    0.86" here this morning. My May total is 5.31".

    The "severe" drought area in Iowa has all been downgraded to "moderate" as of yesterday.

    Despite all the warnings the NWS is issuing around here this morning, it has been a garden-variety storm.

    The potent evening storms passed just nw and east of Cedar Rapids, so I only got some gusty wind and a bit of rain. My daily rain total is 0.82".

    First 70º dew point of the year this afternoon across eastern Iowa.

    I picked up 0.33" from a dying line of storms this morning. The central Iowa storms appear likely to miss nw. Central Iowa got good by rain this morning.

    Models have not handled the morning convection well at all. The CAMs had (and still have) all this stuff quickly weakening and lifting into northern Iowa, but that is not happening. Instead, one line has moved through my area and a bigger line is moving into central to south-central IA.

    I got 1.41" of rain overnight and this morning, easily the best rain event of the year. We had dried out quite a bit after ten days of very little rain.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    0.55" here from the early morning line of storms.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    I got 1.00" of rain today as a good band of stratiform rain moved through this morning. I'm still waiting for the first good thunderstorm of the year.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    My three-day rain total is 0.64", well below what models predicted. Many locations north and west of Cedar Rapids got less than that.
