    My rain total is 2.49". I'm pretty happy with that. I kinda got stuck outside the final heavy bands, so it could have been even better. I finally got my first 1" rain event of the year.

    It is dumping over here. It worked out very well for Cedar Rapids. I am approaching 2".
  3. hawkeye_wx
    It is pouring here. Radar shows a clear nnw/sse line where the heavy rain is west and lighter east. Cedar Rapids appears to be far enough west to remain in the heavy rain.

    Yes, after having shifted much of the heavy rain west of Cedar Rapids, even into central Iowa, they have shifted back into eastern Iowa and now show CR getting 2-3". We can certainly use it. When fencing in a garden plot yesterday, it was difficult to push the support stakes into the hard soil.

    The Euro is now showing a very boring pattern as an upper low cuts off and parks over the eastern lakes. Today/tomorrow may be the only rain for the next ten days.

    The flash flood watch has been expanded westward into central Iowa where some models are trying to focus the rain. DVN, unfortunately, said nothing in their latest discussion about where they think the best rain will fall. I don't think they know.

    The morning models are not helping any. Their heavy rain bands are still all over. The Euro just came in east of Cedar Rapids. Ugh.
  8. hawkeye_wx
    Models are all over the place with rain totals. The UK and Euro are still bullish for me, but the rest are shifting to central Iowa, with only 0.50-1.50" here.

    The way this is setting up, as two lows that track over me, my area doesn't even get any wind until later Wednesday, behind the second low.

    12z Euro is west as well. As with other models, a bit more south-to-north than the previous ssw-nne runs.
  11. hawkeye_wx
    The 12z UK has joined the GFS with a shift nw.
  12. hawkeye_wx
    Models are latching onto the double-barrel low scenario. Unfortunately, this GFS run pushes much of the rain west and north of me. A tropical cyclone remnant missing nw would be a kick to the gut. 12z GFS

    Yeah, the euro is so quick this run that Cristobal outruns the strongly-digging energy moving in from the west. It ends up with a kind of double-barrel system.

    12z UK... I think a tropical remnant precip track like this would be a first for me... extremely rare.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    12z UK has a 969 mb low over Lake Superior. Wow.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    The ICON sped up this morning. A faster motion should help get the system a bit farther nw before the front swings through.

    There were heavy cells dancing all over the area yesterday and overnight, but they all missed me again. My rain total is only 0.18", most of which came from a weakening band of general rain overnight.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    18 straight minutes of 60 mph wind gusts at Davenport.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    Yeah, I'm not looking for 5" of rain or damaging hail or a tornado. A solid thunderstorm that drops 1" of rain would be great.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    This morning's models are tracking the low center farther southeast again, sorta acting as a tail for the cold front swinging through the region. Still, models show good precip surging northward along the front.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    A few minutes of hail was fun to watch, but what I want is heavy rain (with some nice lightning/thunder). I love heavy rain as much as I love heavy snow. The storm that dropped that hail on April 7th only dropped 0.09" of rain. At some point this season we'll get a real heavy downpour that lasts more than a few minutes, but it just hasn't happened yet.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    The Euro is much farther nw with the Cristobal low this run. Models are really deepening the system somewhere in the lakes region. No doubt the track will flop around many times as the system hangs out down in the tropics for the next few days.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    Meanwhile, two lines of storms both crapped out on/skipped over me overnight, leaving me with only 0.19" of rain. It's not our year, apparently.

    91/68 in Cedar Rapids last hour (90 this hour), the first 90º day since last July.

    The 3k NAM drops a pretty good line into northern and even central Iowa tonight, but the HRRR appears to have Iowa capped and bone dry.
