Some real nice snow totals in Iowa.

There was a nw trend with the snow band a day or two ago. Over the last few model runs, it has reversed and is trending back southeast, away from MSP.

2-4" of snow fell overnight in the southeast corner of Iowa.

I'm on the west side. The red cell moved right over my house, but it didn't produce anything noteworthy... maybe 50 mph? with some decent lightning and not much rain.

Really? Here in the city it was no big deal.

I got some lightning, thunder and some gustiness, but overall a big dud for much of eastern Iowa.

For a week all models have shown a strong line moving through eastern Iowa this evening. So far, the line approaching my area is weak crap. The 40s dews are not helping.

The Weather Channel has a Torcon of 9 out of 10 for Jackson, MS tomorrow.

Cedar Rapids is up to 81º.

The GFS looks nearly identical to the Euro, with this morning's run being a bit farther south.

Models are getting a bit frisky with the midweek storm. The new Euro is stronger and farther south. Other models are farther north. This Euro run has 70º here Tuesday and then heavy snow and wind Wednesday.

Models continue to tease some snow across Iowa mid next week, right after we hit 70º again early in the week.

This line is going to race northeastward across eastern Iowa, will be in and out in a flash.

A batch of high clouds earlier in the day held us back a little, but they cleared and we have surged to 74º. Southwest Iowa is in the low 80s.
