  1. Even this weak, barely-mentioned system was able to drop 3-4" from southeast of Des Moines to the QC. Radar was fairly impressive down there, but I didn't expect 4" totals. I did not get into the good stuff, but a temp in the upper 20s helped us get 0.4".
  2. The 00z Euro is, once again, stronger and farther north compared to its previous run.
  3. 3k NAM isn't quite as far north.
  4. My 2-day rain total from this system is 0.78". We won't be seeing 60º again for a while.
  5. It's too bad this system is moving through the region in split form. Instead of one powerhouse low, we get a northern piece and southern piece.
  6. We had a pretty nice morning, rising into the 50s, but an afternoon washout produced 0.45" of rain and dropped us into the upper 40s.
  7. Cedar Rapids has gusted to 60 mph late this afternoon.
  8. Assuming the track is close to what models are currently showing, weatherbo is going to be crushed.
  9. The 12z Euro inched back nw a bit with the snow. For southeast Iowa over to Chicago, the northern wave is a bit too far nw and the southern wave a bit too far se. The waves don't fully phase until it's past us. Here in the middle we get some rain and then end with some light snow.
  10. Yeah, models show a ton of deep convection down south. That is rarely good for us.
  11. That's a mean cell nw of Indy... some big hail for sure.
  12. 4" size hail reported in far southeast Iowa. Yikes!
  13. Monday and Tuesday could be pretty brutal for mid April. It looks like a mid-winter map.
  14. I just experienced two rounds of hail up to 5/8" diameter. It was fun to see that again because we just don't get much hail here and rarely larger than pea size. We got lucky as the two large hail cores missed just north and south.
  15. Large hail (golfball+) is hitting the northeast side of Cedar Rapids. Another cell is about to hit me. I sure hope we don't get that shit.
  16. The front ended up being faster than models originally predicted, so just about our entire day has been cold. We have fallen to the mid 30s as light rain moves in. Tuesday will likely be the warmest day of the year (70s to near 80), but it will be followed by more cold.
  17. Yeah, the wind has really been howling all night and morning. I only picked up 0.39" of rain from this system... nothing Thur/Fri, nothing late Saturday.
  18. A few cells are trying to pop around here, but it's too late. All that hype for a big zero. At least we got a nice afternoon out of it.
  19. We are running out of time over here. By 7pm, the threat is over.
  20. Still a total dud south of the warm front in Iowa. If the line doesn't pop in the next hour or two, Cedar Rapids/Iowa City will be in the clear.
  21. Some locations in southeast Iowa are approaching 70º as well. It's still 48º here.
  22. Northern Missouri appears to be clearing out fairly well behind the morning convection.
  23. There appears to be a pretty awful (cold) pattern settling in when we flip to April. Let's hope it is only several days and not half the month.
