  1. Cedar Rapids is dead center in the middle of the slight risk today. Cedar Rapids is killing it this year. Derecho, multiple early season snows, epicenter of potential severe today. If luck continues maybe you guys can breach the 1ft mark for a snowstorm this winter.
  2. Pretty entertaining evening with lots of lightning flashes, and slow-rolling thunder. Hasn't been too much rain yet (0.22") but chances for good downpours the rest of the night.
  3. Elevated showers/storms working in here. Could be some nice downpours this evening. Looking forward to the mid-upper 70s tomorrow.
  4. Day 3 marginal risk for areas that received significant snow yesterday. Temps/dews will be well into the 70s/60s. Quite the turnaround.
  5. Very impressive! Great start to the new season. Temps crashed from 41 to 33 here as the snow moved in. Had a brief period of moderate snow. No accum but very nice to see a daytime snow event in mid Oct. Had a burst of sleet with a convective shower at the tail-end.
  6. Pretty impressive stuff with that band out in central Iowa. Lightning icing on the cake. 41 here with some filtered sun. Ever so slight chance we could see some wet flakes if we can precipitate hard enough, but doesn't look very likely. First flakes may have to wait another week plus if it doesn't work out this afternoon.
  7. saw a few partially melted flakes mixed in with the larger rain drops earlier in Clinton. Think it stayed all rain at home where there was less bright-banding. Just light rain now @ 40 degrees.
  8. Can't wait to check back in on this site someday and see something other than the covid thread be the hottest topic. Combination of boring weather and that being the popular thing to talk about on what's supposed to be a weather enthusiast discussion site is very f'g depressing to say the least. Seeing that topic at the top of the list every time I check in is getting old, and kind of makes me not want to check in much anymore...
  9. Got colder than expected here this morning, as it got down to 33. Probably had frost in at least some patches. Looks like first freeze on the way for tonight.
  10. Feels like fall out there today with temps near 50 and spits of cold rain.
  11. First frost here this morning (patchy) at 34 degrees. Was in the low 40s till 3am due to lingering clouds, but plummeted after that.
  12. They should have painted triple phaser on there somewhere dammit.
  13. zzzzz. Pretty quiet start to the month. Hopefully something of interest later on in the month.
  14. Just a few days ago was the anniversary of the record earliest measureable snowfall for part of the sub, 1947.
  15. She sounds like she was in a glass case of emotions.
  16. Margin of victory with cutters always seems a bit iffy due to dry slot issues, positive-tilt warm-sector convection robbing the cold-sector precip, overaggressive WAA, etc. Hybrid clipper systems is where it's at.
  17. ^ NIce pics Hawkeye, thanks for sharing!
  18. New guy came in at 20z and was like nah, and hacked 100 miles of the north section off out your way.
  19. Definitely will see a nice recovery later today, but as many have mentioned the cap remains the biggest issue. A lot of the guidance is popping off convection by early eve, so I'm leaning towards there being at least scattered activity like Hoosier mentioned. The substantial plume of steep mid-level lapse rates is very nice to see.
  20. That pic reminds me of the movie The Burbs with Tom Hanks. Next door neighbor had basically no grass, and had that extreme contrast going from Hank's yard to that one.
