    Up to 6" of snow has fallen on I-80 in southeastern Wyoming this evening. Considerable amounts of snow falling over the higher terrain of Colorado. 55-60mph northerly winds are blasting over northeast Colorado as temps plummet through the 40s after being in the 70s and 80s earlier today. Pretty insane to be seeing this so late into the year. It can snow in these same places in <3 months.

    93 here and at DVN today, and 92 at MLI. Winds were southeasterly today and that explains why here/DVN was warmer than MLI. On days with southwest/west winds MLI is usually a few degrees warmer than both locations.

    Looks like Hawkeye won't be mentioning lack of heavy rain anymore for awhile. Looks like that area will be ground zero for 3-5" of rain. Looks like 1/2-1" or so here, as we'll be very close to the track. Maybe some 30-40mph gust potential. Normally pretty much would be a non-event, but the tropical aspect of it is pretty sweet.

    Slight bump east on both the 3km NAM/HRRRV which brings the heaviest rains closer towards DVN. Another tick east and we'll be in the heaviest. Don't need the rain at all, but if we aren't gonna get the good winds might as well go for the heavy rains I guess lol.

    The track of the Cristobal comes right through here the way it's looking. Looks like the heaviest rains miss to the west (which is good for this area), and the strongest winds miss to the east. Still a pretty cool system to watch though. We should have an over/under for strongest wind gust for a location that looks like it could be in for the highest winds, like ORD or something.

    75mph wind gusts from northeast IL into southeast WI Tuesday night.

    Pretty oppressive conditions in Le Mars Iowa this evening. 118 degrees with a 118 degree dewpoint. Current heat index is 363 degrees.

    This is definitely looking like it's gonna be one to remember.

    Getting some powerful cloud to ground strikes out of this anvil rain, just like last week. Long rumbler/house shakers. Storms dropped over 4" of rain west of the QC earlier in about 90 minutes. Looks like up to 3" of rain fell in the northeastern portion of the QC around the Hampton area. Definitely been an entertaining evening.

    DVN just gusted to 61mph in a severe thunderstorm. Nice light show to the west/southwest atm.
  11. cyclone77
    Tagged 90 at MLI today. Made it to 89 here, which is the current temp, so 90 still possible. Another afternoon with boiling thunderheads in the skies. Seeing that never gets old. EDIT: Hit 90.
  12. cyclone77
    The Euro has a little wet snow mixing in up at Bo's on June 12th lol.
  13. cyclone77
    Pretty sweet thunderhead to the southwest from that nearly stationary severe storm west of the QC. Second severe storm of the day in the area, outside of the marginal risk zone.

    And don't forget, cicadas will be caking the trees adding additional mass/surface area.
  15. cyclone77
    Finished with 0.87" here. 2024 will certainly be an exciting year. An even better total eclipse than 2017, and then the main batch of 17-year cicadas arriving. EDIT: Nice moisture convergence over Iowa. Mid 70 dews over southeast Iowa, whilst mid 40s up in the north-central part of the state.
  16. cyclone77
    We're under a severe warning, and we're not even in the marginal lol. About to get dumped on yet again.

    Now that it's June 3rd it is now the 160th anniversary of the great Camanche tornado of 1860. The most infamous tor in DVN's cwa to be sure, and one of the deadliest tornadoes in US history. Hard to believe something like this happened in this area as almost all tors in this area are birdfart EF1 one-scan spin-up wonders.

    Euro seems to have the opposite problem compared to last year regarding temps. Last year it was too hot with temps, especially over areas that hadn't had much rain. This year it's under-doing temps by 5-8 degrees in many cases. Was off by almost 10 degrees over northwest Iowa today in areas that hit 100.
  19. cyclone77
    93 here, 94 at DVN. A few spots in northwest Iowa have tagged 100.
  20. cyclone77
    They were right. Three locations at 97 degrees, while a site in western MN is at 99.
  21. cyclone77
    HRRR brothers are forecasting temps in the mid to upper 90s over southwestern MN tomorrow afternoon. Looks like we have a shot at our first 90+ day of the year on Monday.
  22. cyclone77
    The weather the past few days has been phenomenal. Another perfect day on the way for tomorrow. Swamp crotch weather arrives by Tuesday. Looks like mid 70 degree dews much of next week/next weekend, with heat index temps pushing 100 at times if Euro is to be believed.
  23. cyclone77
    FFW just north of here but luckily it looks like we're gonna escape with very little. Looks pretty quiet until next week. Def gonna enjoy the cooler, less humid air mass in the next 4 days.
  24. cyclone77
    Looks like the heaviest rains are gonna be setting up further southeast than it looked earlier, closer to DVN. Farm fields around here are just now starting to get rid of their pools of standing water, so I suppose we're gonna get dumped on later lol. EDIT: Looks like the HRRR is a little too far northwest with the placement of heavier rains based on trends. Will be playing catch up all day I think.
  25. cyclone77
    DVN has a flash flood watch for their northern/western cwa. Hawkeye and the CR crew could be in for a lot of rain today.
