OrdIowPitMsp Posted yesterday at 01:18 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:18 AM 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. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted yesterday at 02:37 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:37 PM 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.

Brian D Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Looks like back to back nights of decaying Iowa convection tonight/tomorrow night. Hoping for a half inch between the two nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was south of Springfield 2 weeks ago and was commenting to a friend that I’ve never seen so much dust blowing around in Illinois before. The winds weren’t even all that strong. About an hour later we got a push alert on our phones for a dust storm warning. I don’t think I’ve ever had a push alert for that in Illinois before.

Torchageddon Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago While it was closer to 18C/65F today, it still felt cool and unwholesome out there with some patchy sun. I think around 1pm that's when it got mostly cloudy . Thurs it was 3pm the veil of despair smothered us. I find I feel unwell as soon as the veil of despair makes it over here. Tomorrow rain, just sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I’ve been personally impacted by wildfire like that Could see smoke from my house earlier today. Not seeing anything this evening. Hopefully this will get contained quick. Lake Superior is a natural barrier, so they can concentrate on areas that will impact property more. Was in the 80's today with very low RH. Awesome mid May day. Should be in the 70's tomorrow with a little less wind, but still a decent breeze. Thankfully lots of rain coming starting Sunday aftrn sometime.

hawkeye_wx Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago About 0.43" of rain here overnight. It was nice to hear thunder and rain on the roof again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The page has turned. Spring is in full swing. Reached low 80's here yesterday as the last patches of snow in ditches and swamps melted away. The only place where snow remains is around the pole barn where it slid off the roof all winter. Maples are starting to bud and patches of green are replacing the blah brown. The last 80 here was October 5th. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted 46 minutes ago Share Posted 46 minutes ago Fire still not contained. Breezy W wind today. They switch to a breezy ENE wind tomorrow before the rains set in sometime during the aftrn/eve. Hopefully any sparks that may blow eastward, and try to start any fires will be squashed by rain quickly. Other than that, 70's along the shore with 60's inland. Another nice May day. After this, it's back to cooler wx for a few days, but the rains will be much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
