    Mine will be, too. I'm watering my garden every day or two and I'm now watering the dry-sensitive parts of the lawn as well so it does not die.

    A decent cluster of cells popped even closer to me today, but I only received sprinkles. The two-day popcorn pattern produced 0.00".

    God I'm sick of seeing little to no rain on every Euro run, every day. It has been like this for two weeks. Even at the end of today's run there is no rain in sight. The heart of the rain and storm season is going down the toilet.

    Central Iowa got good rain this morning, but that complex lifted north. More storms have popped over there again, while there is nothing around here. Once again, today's Euro doesn't have a drop of rain here through day 10. A couple months ago I posted that I was glad to get rid of the la nina drought summers. I certainly didn't expect el nino would be worse.

    Drought expansion has begun.

    The dewpoint has jumped to 60º today, the highest it has been in a long time.

    We have a week of 90s coming up, accelerating the onset of drought.

    It's a long tunnel and a dim light.

    The temp very quickly rose into the 80s by midday, and peaked at 86, so it was pretty warm, but the low dew means as soon as the sun begins to set the temp drops and it feels amazing out there.

    My lawn has quickly lost its lushness and is beginning to brown.

    I hate the dry, but it is very pleasant.

    The models are a broken record. Every run is zero rain through ten days. The latest Euro drops the dewpoint into the 20s Thursday, then remains in the 30s for a few days and then 40s.

    I received 0.02" of rain overnight. The latest Euro doesn't have a drop of rain falling here for the next ten days. Plus, the temp is expected to approach 90º next week. Ugh.

    The weather is great for planting the garden, but the rest of the month looks extremely dry. I hope the dry, blocked-up pattern does not continue into June.

    1.17" in my gauge this morning. Despite all the noise from the storms overnight, I got very little heavy rain from it. Fortunately, the MCS produced a big rain shield that soaked the ground for several hours. It was needed.

    This storm produced an hour of gusty wind, but only 0.02" of rain. I'm afraid this may have pushed tonight's good rain farther south.

    Golfball size hail reports are coming in from the storm approaching southeast Iowa. I'm thinking the one west of me will sag south and the large hail will miss me. I hope so.

    Models are increasingly hyping up a big MCS rolling eastward across Iowa and northern Illinois Sunday night. DVN is on board.

    The wind has lightened up today.... from 47 mph to 43 mph. The third straight day of howling wind really begins to get to me. Thankfully, the wind finally drops off Wednesday as ridging moves in.

    It appears to be all-systems-go for permanent spring once this huge upper low lifts out. One more lobe of Canadian chill wants to dig down behind this one, but as the big California upper low ejects east the southwesterly flow ahead of it wins out and pushes all the chill back up into Canada... hopefully, for good. Next week looks more active, too. We could use some storms.

    It is still gusting well into the 40s, but our expected mostly cloudy day has turned into full sun instead as the atmospheric moisture and cloud shield has pulled away to the east. The full sun is probably aiding the high wind today.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    It is 50º with only a few sprinkles here. Considering this is the worst day of the chilly stretch, it could be a lot worse.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    I'm feeling pretty good about the upcoming pattern here on the west edge of the sub-forum. Sure, it's lousy today and for another couple days, but midweek and beyond it looks much better. I will be hitting the garden centers starting Wednesday.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    We were expecting low 70s, but the warm front never got up here and then sank back south. We peaked at about 66º and fell into the 50s by evening. I'm hoping for a good soaking tonight into Thursday morning.

    A couple severe-warned cells are passing through eastern Iowa this morning, dropping hail up to 1". The hail passed only a mile or so to my nw.
