    Tonight's euro is much weaker with the Halloween storm. The energy just doesn't wrap up like the last several runs.

    GFS farther nw again with widespread heavy snow. The hopes for a big early snow are beginning to fade for the southeast third of Iowa.

    12z Euro - Snow precip Wave #1 Total after major Halloween storm

    We had our first dip into the upper 20s with heavy frost this morning. The leaves of my small maple tree and my neighbor's large maple tree are pouring down pretty good this morning.

    This system is interesting. It's a solid tropical cyclone with deep convection at the center, but there is a strong cold front crashing in from the west, approaching the core.

    The system out by the Azores seems to be a pretty clear tropical cyclone.

    Typhoon Bualoi is about to move over/near Anatahan island in the Mariana Islands. This is the second strong typhoon to directly hit the tiny island this month. That's difficult to do.

    0.75" in my gauge this morning. It was nice to see/hear some heavy downpours again after a needed ten days off.

    Mason City, IA has been in the mid 30s with light snow for much of the day.

    The temp has fallen to 31º in my yard.

    I did not bother covering any plants tonight. It's too windy. I don't really like to do all that work this late in the season, anyway. I still have several flower pots in the garage for the hummers. They all appear to know how to use feeders, too.

    Another 0.82" of rain over here today. My October total is already 3.35". Locations just nw/n of Cedar Rapids have received nearly twice that.
  13. hawkeye_wx
    Picked up another 0.46" today on top of last night's 2.05". It's pretty wet around here. It's even wetter just north. I wish I could bottle this pattern and open it up in December.

    The sharp edge of the big rain event ended up in between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Iowa City got nothing while I got 2.04". Locations just north of CR got 3-4+".

    It is 81 with a dew of 73 here in Cedar Rapids. I think 73 may be a new October record.

    Several stations in the area touched 90º yesterday, but Cedar Rapids came up just short.

    There continues to be an impressive band of training storms from Peoria to south of Chicago. There are stations in the northern Peoria area with 5+". These same locations may get more training storms tonight and end up with very impressive rain totals.

    A nice cell dropped 0.35" in my yard last night. There is potential for a couple more heavy rain events late this week into next week.

    Unfortunately, recon data at Tropical Tidbits stopped updating almost an hour ago. However, the NHC site has a new recon vort message (a bit north of the last one, 1006 mb still).
  20. hawkeye_wx
    A 50 kt wind barb just showed up as recon approaches the newest adjusted center. I don't think we've seen any of those over the last couple days.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    The latest official recon vort position is a good jump southwest of the previous positions (which were already jumping around a bit). The dropsonde shows the wind coming from the ene at flight level, but then suddenly switching to the wsw about halfway down. The next pass should be interesting. As others have noted, the layers are not synced up.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    The current recon pass is interesting. Wind data shows a couple additional centers of spin at flight level (1500m) within the intense convection to the sw of the surface center.

    Karen is still being sheared, but the firehose is no longer aimed at it.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    Getting put in a slight risk area has had very poor results here this year.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    Recon has at least closed off a center with nw and w wind.
