    Iowa City is up next for the Iowa tornado. It currently looks like all the cells will pass southeast and northwest of Cedar Rapids.

    Ottumwa is under the gun from a rotating supercell.

    DVN is most concerned with the lead wave tracking from south of KC to northern Illinois.

    Hmmm..... The HRRR has mid 70s and storms forming east of Cedar Rapids. The 3k NAM has low 60s and storms forming near Des Moines.

    The 12z HRRR has pushed nearly all of the action east of Cedar Rapids tomorrow. Northern Illinois looks like a fun spot.

    Now this is what I'm looking for... 60s and widespread thunderstorms. Time for the snowstorms to vamoose.

    Up to 9 inches of snow has fallen in the western Iowa weenie band this morning. These late March systems are producing very heavy banding.
  8. hawkeye_wx
    Jesus Christ..... 16 and 17 inch reports are coming in from nw Illinois. These locations must have received 4+"/hr rates.

    Wow, 12.5 inches southeast of Dubuque!!!!

    10" report now north of the Quad Cities.

    Milwaukee NWS's snow map, last night, had Madison getting about 3 inches. Surprise!
  12. hawkeye_wx
    9 inches has fallen northwest of the Quad Cities. Iowa City got 4 inches. I did not get a flake.

    Take all this shit to the banter thread. The trend across all models this morning is to fade back east with the heavy snow band. Southeast Wisconsin looks like a pretty good spot.

    A band of 2-4 inches of snow fell across northern Iowa overnight... definite over-performer.

    12z Euro Of course, cut the snow totals in half due to lousy ratios and warm ground.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    Most models are now showing a strengthening low cutting into the lakes Friday night into Saturday, with a burst of snow from southeast Iowa into Wisconsin.

    Today I received 0.20" of rain, followed by 0.7" of snow. The northwest wind is currently howling. The wind chill should be close to zero by morning.

    When I see this photo, the movie "Runaway Train" instantly pops into my head.

    As models predicted, much of the central Iowa snow dried up as it moved into eastern Iowa. I finished with 1.1 inches.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    My storm total snow is 4.0". My prediction was 3", so I'm pretty satisfied. The snow compacted a bit over 13 hours, so I could have measured a bit more if I had cleaned my snow board earlier this evening, before the final bands.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    I'm currently at 3.2". I have a shot at 4" when the lighter backwash pulls through.

    But the dew is 24º, though. The temp will crash. I was also concerned about the 37º temp this morning, but 90 minutes after the precip started I had 1.8" of snow on the ground. It began piling up immediately.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    My total is up to 1.8 after a nice burst of heavy snow. The rate has lessened quite a bit. The temp was 37 this morning, but quickly fell to 33 when the heavy snow moved in. The temp is slowly rising again with the lighter rate.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    A few inches is still looking like a decent expectation here. I doubt the warning area in Iowa will verify.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    The snow rates are not good and the temperature is garbage. The temp is in the upper 30s in the morning and falls to the mid 30s during the snow.
