Spartman Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 Ended up hitting 90 for the 3rd day in a row this week. First heatwave since right after the 4th of July weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 After hitting the QC with heavy downpours, the once robust cluster of storms has quickly transformed to (you guessed it) anvil rains on final approach. This is all bonus anyway as I didn't really think we'd get anything after the morning stuff departed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I have spent many days hoping for an insane CAPE measurement in the northern Midwest. Looks like we got a confirmed 6000 J/kg in Aberdeen South Dakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 It appears the 80º dew point will be back Monday. 50s and 60s dp will surge into the region later in the week. That'll feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Its been a bit of a cloudy weekend but it cleared early this aft, humidity in control. A very rare 10-day from WUN showing mostly sunny the whole way through!! Blessed. I checked a 10-day I saved from Jul 16 and found that it correctly predicted the storm I had Thurs 8 days out. Even the exact amount of rain (9mm)!! I was a bit higher for temps at 33C with DP at 27C. Low was .7C off from recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 As expected, the big storms up in southern Minnesota raced south across Iowa overnight and fell apart. We got some moderate wind, but very little rain (0.20). The initial line was almost dry. It looks like tonight may be a repeat, with storms falling apart as they dive southeastward. We haven't gotten a lot of rain over the last week, but frequent small rains are keeping it moist. The lawns are growing like crazy. I have to mow every three days.

Spartman Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Stuck at 80 with all the debris clouds, even with the Heat Advisory in effect today. No way we're going to top 90 or even the upper 80s. NWS might as well just cancel the Heat Advisory today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 The overnight MCS scoured out the extreme humidity across Iowa, so we are not going to get the 80º dew point today. It's low to mid 70s instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Yeah that big MCS last night definitely saved us for today humidity wise. Was looking like a shoe-in for 80+ dews today, but stayed mid 70s. Was quite refreshing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
