Had a golf outing today. I think this may be the first time I can really say that I did not have fun playing golf, just wishing the entire day that the round was over. Near zero winds for a few hours this afternoon made for suffocating conditions. Had a few guys on the course who had me seriously concerned about their health/safety.

Finally off the 0’fer with 1.30” (and still some falling).

I am playing in a golf outing Friday afternoon. Not often I drink anything other than beer on the course, but it is looking like a Gatorade day for sure.

The hyper local conditions around here are pretty nuts. 2 miles in most any direction has been poured on, and several nights we have watched rain pour down in the distance, can smell the rain, and never get more than a few drops. The local ponds behind my house that I fish on are very low (makes it easy to find the bass). Grass is very crunchy, and we are watering all of our ornamental plants every night. One pop up storm would be nice! And regarding the map, with things so localized, data smoothing has likely washed over my area (and I assume other super local areas which have been dry due to the incredibly spotty nature of our precip lately).

Still rocking a T of precip for the month IMBY. Ground is as hard as a rock. I am building a new home, and was worried a few weeks ago that it would be too wet to dig. I got my permits today, and we are going to be fine... Lush green turning to dried out piles of brush are going to give any stray spark a nice home.

Pretty crazy flip regarding precip IMBY. No measurable precip so far this month and as such we have flipped from lush green to crunchy brown. With what looks like mid-90’s possible in the next week, I may not need to mow for the foreseeable future

Doing a good job of ducking and weaving around any rain today. .01” in the gauge...

Have some siding and tree damage all from the gust front. The storms themselves managed to split around us and just got a T of rain.

Yeah, that’s what gusted me to 58. Haven’t had a drop of rain.

Gusted to 58mph IMBY

Looks like a quick spin up

That one is now producing as well.

Based on CC, that one is chewing something up. Big CC drop evident on the past few scans

It’s tightening up and getting its act together quickly

Cell to the south going to make a run towards Bloomington

Another big TDS from that new area of rotation

Looks like the Indiana storm cycled and threw a new area of rotation SE of the prior one

Big TDS on that one

Good amount of damage in the Argenta-Oreana area in Macon county from last night. Luckily my parents had no damage, but quite a bit of large tree damage throughout town. May have spun one up pretty quickly along the line as it passed over Oreana.

May be cycling. Last grab on velocity didn’t look as good.

Iowa city is going to have a serious problem if this doesn’t cycle. Still a tight couplet

Strong tornado tracking to Iowa city
