    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.

    The first red-winged blackbird showed up on my seed feeder this morning. Robins will surely arrive this week.

    Daffodils should be shooting up by the end of the week.

    Tuesday is now looking like the coolest day of the week. The Euro has upgraded both Thursday and Friday to 70+.

    It snowed pretty hard here for several hours this morning. However, it took 0.47" of liquid to get 2.3" of snow. Iffy temps really cut down on the total.

    The north models were wrong this morning. The heavier snow band remained parked through Cedar Rapids. I finished with 2.3". It probably would have been double that if the temp was a couple degrees colder.

    The GFS had been the one model bringing a cold front through Monday night, which would ruin our chance at 70s Tuesday. Other models kept pushing the big warmth, even the Euro. It appears the GFS was correct. We'll still be warm, but maybe not quite as warm as models had been suggesting.

    I got 1.5" of snow overnight. Last hour, huge flakes were dumping down. Now in between bands, it will likely start to melt. The marginal temp across the state is making it difficult to accumulate well.

    Models have shifted the Iowa snow band north today, maybe putting me on the southern edge. 1-3" looks like a good range.

    I picked up 2 inches of snow this morning. My storm total precip is a real nice 1.90".

    We are getting near-blizzard conditions this morning. The snow has been steady and moderate, with likely over an inch. This has been quite a spring storm. 27 hours ago we had lightning and thunder, then a day of steady, soaking rain, and now near blizzard.

    1.73" of rain in my yard. It has switched to snow and is accumulating.

    12z Euro for the midweek storm
  14. hawkeye_wx
    The big storm continues to trend toward earlier occlusion and a farther nw track. Tonight's 00z GFS and NAM are so far nw that the nasty dry slot has been pulled back into eastern Iowa. Ugh.

    Here's the "days since last warning/advisory" chart. I couldn't find anything about pressure records. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?q=92

    This system is really going to be wrapped up... something we haven't seen much of in recent months. Models have been beefing up the snow totals up in MN/WI. The snow has mostly been shifted nw of me, but it continues to look good for widespread 1-2+" of rain.

    Max gusts this afternoon Cedar Rapids: 61 mph Mason City: 62 mph Waterloo: 66 mph

    The Euro would be pretty interesting for eastern Iowa. Heavy wind-driven rain followed by a few inches of wind-driven slop.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    There is still a lot of waffling north and south from run to run. Parts of Iowa may get hit hard, or get little or nothing.

    I'm getting a bit excited for good rain, and maybe some thunder, possibly followed by a burst of snow on the backside.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    We just got our first light thundershower of the year.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    This morning's Euro has near 60º here next Friday. That will feel great. Our last couple inches of snow should be melted off pretty quickly over the coming days.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    The big change to a much more active pattern is going to result in exactly one snow event for my area. It was a pretty decent one (7"), but it appears that is all we are going to get out of this pattern.

    I was right to never really expect anything this weekend. The bullish models always looked dubious. We got nothing from the Friday WAA snow band and then we got only a dusting this morning. Honestly, though, I'm not complaining because I'm still dealing with a cold and being outside to clean a couple mornings ago did not help one bit.

    The WAA band was a total dud in Cedar Rapids. It produced flurries and gusty wind.
