    Max gusts this afternoon Cedar Rapids: 61 mph Mason City: 62 mph Waterloo: 66 mph

    The Euro would be pretty interesting for eastern Iowa. Heavy wind-driven rain followed by a few inches of wind-driven slop.

    There is still a lot of waffling north and south from run to run. Parts of Iowa may get hit hard, or get little or nothing.

    I'm getting a bit excited for good rain, and maybe some thunder, possibly followed by a burst of snow on the backside.

    We just got our first light thundershower of the year.

    This morning's Euro has near 60º here next Friday. That will feel great. Our last couple inches of snow should be melted off pretty quickly over the coming days.

    The big change to a much more active pattern is going to result in exactly one snow event for my area. It was a pretty decent one (7"), but it appears that is all we are going to get out of this pattern.

    I was right to never really expect anything this weekend. The bullish models always looked dubious. We got nothing from the Friday WAA snow band and then we got only a dusting this morning. Honestly, though, I'm not complaining because I'm still dealing with a cold and being outside to clean a couple mornings ago did not help one bit.

    The WAA band was a total dud in Cedar Rapids. It produced flurries and gusty wind.

    The HRRR would be nice, but it's difficult to buy it when other models (Euro) show nothing in Iowa.

    Most models have trended north with the Friday snow in Iowa. We may only get a very brief line of snow showers.
  12. hawkeye_wx
    I'm expecting to get 1-3" from the WAA snow Friday. The main low is still a mystery, so I'm not really expecting anything.
  13. hawkeye_wx
    I'm going with a total of 7".

    The setup is almost good. It kinda looks like all the heavy convection down south is preventing deeper moisture from getting into the cold sector.

    I have not been out to measure, but the snow is now over the edge of the patio bird bath and the rain gauge stand, which suggests about 4". There are reports of 5-6" in the Cedar Rapids area as well. We are currently getting our heaviest snow of the event.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    4-6" has fallen in a band from south of Des Moines through Iowa City, to east of Cedar Rapids. I think I probably have about 2".

    18z Euro

    Most models are fairly consistent with the snow band through Iowa. 4-6" looks reasonable here. The drying out from Missouri through Illinois is pretty brutal.

    Models seem to be keeping the solid swath through Iowa, but drying it out to the south where it was supposed to be heavier. I was excited for this, but I caught an illness yesterday and I feel like crap today. The last thing I'd want to do now is go out into the cold to shovel/blow, or even measure.

    Oof.... the GFS actually sagged back south. It looks nothing like some of the other models.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    The timing of this system is just about perfect. It should snow all day Wednesday across Iowa.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    The Euro, NAM, and RDPS are all trending heavier across Iowa. We need the GFS to wake up.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    My 7" actually makes me one of Iowa's winners this winter. There are still a few spots in sw Iowa that have received ZERO measurable snow. That's nuts.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    Big improvement for Iowa from the Euro over the last few runs. The Euro is significantly heavier through Iowa than the GFS.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    Once again, for next weekend's system, models are trending toward turning the flow out of Canada and suppressing the storm. There has been too much of that this winter.
