80 today. Blowing dust west of town. There have already been several blowing dust advisories this year. Seems like more than any year in the previous 15 but I might have recency bias.

70's on tap today, but was warned on local news last night that some blowing dust could enter the picture from the Dakotas. Skies are a little milky this morning. Gusty W winds today with low RH has a big chunk of the N areas under a Reg Flag warning. Lots of rain coming next week, tho.

Low 80's in town. Got some sun today. Feels great! Winds picked up this aftrn gusting to 30+ out of the W. Still a milky sky from the dust aloft.

Looks like back to back nights of decaying Iowa convection tonight/tomorrow night.  Hoping for a half inch between the two nights.

Fires started this aftrn just NE of town. Winds are starting to slack off, so hopefully they will be able to get containment tonight. Residents may lose homes.
