    I don't recall there being a hurricane in this far south location since Ivan in '04. It doesn't happen often. The vast majority of storms that form in the MDR lift northward away from 10N pretty quickly as they organize.

    Barbados is very fortunate that Beryl has tracked a good degree farther south than earlier projected.

    960 mb extrap, 132 kt SFMR on latest recon pass.

    Beryl is not wasting time tonight. It has developed a nice eyewall and it is about to pop the eye on satellite.

    After working all day to moisten up the north side of the core, Beryl has finally managed to wrap the convection initiation point around.

    I finished with 1.44" of rain today. I will still finish June ~1.50" below avg, but this was a nice win. Tuesday looks like another chance of good rain.

    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".
  21. hawkeye_wx
    0.86" here this morning. My May total is 5.31".
  22. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    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.
