Cedar Rapids finally hit 90º (officially) yesterday for the first time this month. I hope we can cash in on the MCV moving across Iowa this afternoon. This might be our last decent rain chance for a while.
-
Same here. I had to go out late last night to get the gauge set up, but then the approaching storm slammed on the brakes and then crapped out.
-
Once again, CID only hit 88º. Just about every other station in ec/se Iowa hit 90+. Last five days: Waterloo (ALO) is a consistent hot spot and CID is a consistent cool spot. Waterloo: 91 91 92 93 93 Cedar Rapids: 87 87 88 88 88

88º, officially, in Cedar Rapids today. I'm sure it was 90º in town with all the buildings and pavement and very little breeze.
-
The Cedar Rapids airport has not hit 90º since early June.
-
The GFS has part of central Kansas and Nebraska approaching 120º next weekend. That's unreal. It has my area struggling to get above 90º most days.
-
I finished June with 6.79" of rain.
-
Cedar Rapids has only hit 90º twice this year. It certainly has not felt like a hot summer. The disturbance hanging around my area dropped about a quarter inch of rain this morning, enough to fill the barrel.
-
And not much wind. The only break in the heat will be from the occasional outflow from pop-up cells.
-
Nada over here... very disappointing.
-
My area is still in the 70s with thick clouds.
-
It looks pretty good for southeast Wisconsin and northern Illinois, but storms may or may not fire in time for Cedar Rapids.
-
It has certainly not been a humid met summer so far. Our dew is in the 50s again today. There have been several days with humid dews in western Iowa and pleasant dews in eastern Iowa.
-
The morning models have sped up the front and are now firing the storms farther south. The UK and Euro now have nothing here. The CAMs fire the storms just barely in time.
-
My storm total is 2.38". I was just hoping to get over an inch, but this morning's disturbance really perked up. My total is even lower than many others in the area. Over 3" fell only a couple miles to my south.
-
1.83" here so far this morning. That's great, but I sure would love some good ol' noisy thunderstorms. I've had about 6 inches of rain this month, but barely any thunder at all. There is zero thunder this morning.
-
That first line did crap out just before reaching me. The second line mostly passed south. However, more rain filled in through this morning and many places have received 1+". I am well over an inch now. Once again, there has been little to no thunder.
-
The year's first organized line of strong storms is approaching my area tonight. I didn't think they'd sag far enough south, but it may happen.
-
I think they should keep advisories. They are simple and they work. You can see the colored advisory area on the map. I filled out the survey.
-
Clouds and showers held us down in the mid 70s today. Unfortunately, the lack of instability led to this evening's rain/storms crapping out.
-
I picked up almost a half inch of rain this morning from the bubbly remnants of the central/western Iowa convection. There were a couple rumbles, but that's it. The vast majority of our rain this year has been thunder-less. Models are still pretty bullish in general through tomorrow, but it should also be a bit hit-n-miss.
-
Thursday night into Saturday looks to be the first real MCS action of the season across Iowa.
-
My final 2-day rain total is 3.04".
-
The temp over here is falling into the low 60s this afternoon. The dew is falling into the 50s. It's pretty refreshing.
-
A line of very heavy rain just lifted north through the Cedar Rapids area. I picked up a quick 0.42" as the line was initially popping up over me. The far north side of the city received up to 1.5" in <30 minutes.
