    While I've casually followed the Mississippi flooding, I kinda forget about it because the rivers just to the west, around here, are not high at all. I just went down to Iowa City and the Iowa River/Coralville Reservoir are actually rather low. All the recent heavy rain has been from here south, with not much up in northern Iowa where all of our rivers begin.

    I picked up 0.75" of rain overnight. 1.50-2.00+" fell along and south of I-80. Cyclone is sailing past 2".

    It didn't get too cold over here. My forecasted low was 27, but the nearest station in the city only hit 31. The snowier spots in northeast Iowa hit the mid to upper 20s.

    It's just about done over here. I picked up 0.3" of sleet/snow, which boosts my final(let's hope) season total to 50.2", only the second 50" season since I began keeping track in '07-'08.

    There's a nice burst of snow passing through Cedar Rapids at the moment. This is only the second time I've seen snow since February.

    I'm seeing periods of moderate to heavy sleet over here.

    Dubuque has switched to mod/heavy snow.
  8. hawkeye_wx
    But also, the low is a couple mb weaker and the snow amounts are down.

    As Natester stated, the end result is close to other models... snow band from Dubuque to Chicago, about 0.75" of precip in Cedar Rapids(probably enough mix/snow to coat the grass).

    I still need 0.1" of snow to reach 50" for the season.

    I'm glad the heavy snow band is going to miss north. A lot of perennials in the garden have some good size already and I don't want them smashed. I wouldn't mind some flakes, though.

    A hail core passed just south of Cedar Rapids. I received a bit of heavy rain, but no hail.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    There have been several nickel-size hail reports so far. Cedar Rapids was just put in a warning for the cell approaching from the sw.

    A light storm moved through here this evening. Radar showed a decent red cell, but it was kinda meh. I picked up 0.28" of rain. It has been generally boring since the snow season came to a screeching halt in February, so I'll take what I can get.

    Congrats on the storm, everyone. The photos are great. I was happy to be able to watch The Masters and not have to be distracted by heavy snow and then have to clean it up.

    Princeton spotter is reporting 8 inches. DVN way under-forecasted this storm. The morning discussion had 1-2" in Princeton.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    4-5" so far in the DVN area, from Macomb to Princeton.

    Recent HRRR runs have strengthened the low. The latest run has it down to 989 mb in central Indiana. The Euro had the right idea early on, but it blew the nw track forecast.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    00z Euro - Finally gave up on the nw track.

    The NAM is now farther southeast with the GFS/FV3/Canadian/UK. The euro is on its own showing snow through eastern Iowa.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    I'll go out on a limb and say those high Kuchera ratios are not going to pan out with temps in the 30s in mid April.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    Canadian has drifted back southeast the last couple runs, looks solid for Chicago.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    FV3 is also holding steady, but more robust with the snow band through Chicago.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    12z GFS still sticking with a farther southeast track.
