June 2026 General Discussion

I was fortunate to get 0.94" overnight and this morning because, overall, this disturbance did not drop the widespread 1-3" some models were advertising a day or two ago.  Areas from Iowa City east and south got almost nothing.  There was also zero lightning/thunder with this rain.

It had also looked like Friday night would be a good storm/rain event across the area, but now that appears to be gone south, so there are some spots in ec/se Iowa that will get nothing from both nights.

Promising squall line collapsed and dissipated over the western metro. Barely wet the sidewalk here. 

Yeah, I saw that. HS state track going on yesterday, and today. Finals are today. My gson has qualified in the 110m & 300m hurdles. THHS is in Section 7A. At state they compete within Class A. 3 classes in the state. A, AA, AAA with their respective Sections. Hopefully nothing will pop this aftrn down there at St. Michael.

70 midday with low 60's dew. Feels good. A little rain has helped with RH levels.
