    Cedar Rapids hit 70º this afternoon, the first time since March 21st. It was not expected at all. The forecast had only recently got bumped up to the mid 60s. It's too bad the wind was too strong to really enjoy the nice temp for most of the day.

    The cold season up here lasts one month too long. I would love to be able to snap my finger and add 10º to the average high temp after the spring equinox.

    We hit 75º back on March 21st. We've only hit 50º three times since then. It appears next Wednesday will be our only 70º day out of the upcoming pattern change. The latest Euro then shows the upper midwest plunging right back into a long cold pattern with 40s, or even 30s, for highs for several days. I really despise springs like this. #!@$#(&*!@#(*^

    Same here... 0.4" of snow.

    GFS and Euro precip next week. lol The GFS pushes the initial front way south while the Euro keeps it stalled over us. Then the GFS tracks the main low well north while the Euro tracks it over us, so this morning's runs are basically the driest and wettest possible scenarios.

    Only 0.23" here last evening, but that puts me at about an inch for the month.

    The warmest day of the week turned into another stuck-in-the-40s stinker. We may go the first nine days of April without hitting 50º.

    The latest system dropped another 0.33" of rain here.
  9. hawkeye_wx
    3-5" of snow fell from Dubuque into far nw Illinois. The snow is already nearly gone in Iowa as the clouds move out and the sun instantly burns it off.

    0.45" of precip fell in my yard. There was just a bit of snow at the end that only dusted the ground a bit.

    18z HRRR The HRRR had the snow farther south earlier this morning, but it has trended north toward the other models. Cyclone and I may end up just barely south of the 1-4" snow band.

    For this area (I assume cyclone's area is similar) <15" winters are rare, but 15-25" is pretty typical in bad winters. Over the last fifteen years, my worst winters are 21", 20", and 17". I was fortunate to get 26" this winter.

    Models are showing a nice burst of snow Saturday morning, with perhaps 1-3". The latest Euro has a nearly identical system Sunday night that drops another thin band of snow in the same area.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    0.9" of snow here this morning in one brief burst. Unfortunately, I woke up shortly after it was over. As usual, the Des Moines area is the bulls-eye with 2-3".
  15. hawkeye_wx
    I received a decent 0.40" of rain overnight. We should get a bit more rain and then snow tonight.

    The big storm this week is trending poorly for my area. Models are now showing it ejecting in two pieces. The first wave's precip is mostly north and southeast, then the second wave's wrap-up is delayed until it lifts into the lakes.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    Models are trending toward a powerful great lakes storm next week as the northern and southern waves strongly phase together. Unfortunately, the large upper low cuts off and pulls a cold airmass over our region for several days in early April.

    My current March precip total, 3.44", makes this my wettest March in thirteen years.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    More rain this morning boosted my final event total to 1.54".
  20. hawkeye_wx
    We didn't get much rain from the weakening initial band this morning, but tonight was much better. I finished with a real nice 1.34". More fell just barely to my west. We are in moderate drought, so spring is off to a good start (2.34" over the last week).
  21. hawkeye_wx
    Just a gorgeous spring day here. We hit 75º. It appears we won't see this temp again for a while.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    First 70º day here.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    Today's cold soaker put 1.00" in my gauge.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    I'll give my winter a C-. I'll likely finish below average, but not way below. I did get three snow events in the 5.4-6.2" range, which is decent for my area. There just wasn't anything else.

    It's looking like the GFS may have scored a major win with the late-week system. For days the GFS was way out on its own tracking a wrapped-up soaker up through Iowa and Wisconsin. Other models have consistently been weaker and well south... until today. They've all trended much closer to the GFS. The GFS does continue to show significant accumulating snow in Iowa, which is probably bunk. We could all use a nice soaker. 00z Euro
