  1. Looking forward to some more withering Iowa convection after midnight.
  2. I think Cedar Rapids/Des Moines/Waterloo have been in about 10-15 more slight risks this year than the QC. At least that's the way it seems.
  3. 1.38" since yesterday morning. Another 1/2-1" probably on the way today/this evening.
  4. We had our September in August, so now we're getting our August I guess. Needless to say I'm looking forward to October. Picked up 0.02" early this morning. Looks like 1-2" of rain possible tomorrow through Sunday.
  5. Was a pretty noisy late night/early morning with lots of thunderstorms passing through the area. Picked up 0.81". The yard is lush green, and rapidly growing like it did back in May/June. A far cry from the state it was in most of July and early August.
  6. Latest Euro shows 65+ dews returning tomorrow and lasting through at least the next 10 days. I'm ready for that kind of humidity to be over, unless associated with meaningful severe possibilities.
  7. Picked up 1.30" last evening/early this morning. Lost power for a few hours after midnight.
  8. Geos must be back home with all the action taking place up in the far northeast corner of IL lately.
  9. Looking forward to some more Iowa sloppy seconds Thu night.
  10. Thundering here with a very heavy overcast. Looks like most of the storms will stay just north though. Picked up 0.56" early yesterday morning.
  11. Picked up 0.27" early this morning. Had one really loud crash of thunder that broke up any plaque trying to build up in my arteries lol. Scared the crap out of me.
  12. Yep. There were several reports of 40+mph winds in the Chicago area around mid-morning, with 50mph estimated winds in Aurora. Festering zombievection and cloud shield over Iowa this morning won't help things for the DVN cwa. This one looks DOA for this area.
  13. Hard to believe met summer is already toast. I'm ready for some dynamic fall and winter systems. Chance for some storms tomorrow but it looks like the DVN cwa will mostly get the shaft again with severe prospects.
  14. Picked up 1.50" of rain last evening and early this morning. The little mini drought is pretty much over.
  15. Had a very heavy downpour at work with some crashes of thunder around noon. Picked up 0.14" here at home. Guessing at least a half inch fell at work. I need to buy a cheap rain gauge for work sometime.
  16. Nice soaker this morning, picked up 0.82". Was pretty impessive how dark it got for quite awhile as the storms came through. The book-end vortex passed right through the QC. Looked sort of like a tropical system on radar.
  17. Wow you guys got a nice soaking out there. I've been having issues with the Tropical Tidbits site the last few weeks. Doesn't seem to want to load the maps very quickly anymore.
  18. 0.67" early this morning. Best rain since June 23-24.
  19. If you would have told me back in early June that we'd be in a moderate drought by mid August there's no way I would have believed it. Went from one extreme to the other. Only 1.57" total since July 1st.
  20. Picked up 0.27" of rain today. 1-2" was looking fairly likely with this 2-day event, but it ended up being a very wussy setup overall.
  21. Picked up 0.19" this morning. Was enough to encourage a few sprouts of crab grass and add a few more mosquitoes to the population
  22. 90 here today, 89 at MLI. Yeah I'm ready for the cool season. This summer has been pretty benign after the excessive spring rains subsided.
  23. Picked up 0.39" from the decaying convection early this morning
