    A few minutes of hail was fun to watch, but what I want is heavy rain (with some nice lightning/thunder). I love heavy rain as much as I love heavy snow. The storm that dropped that hail on April 7th only dropped 0.09" of rain. At some point this season we'll get a real heavy downpour that lasts more than a few minutes, but it just hasn't happened yet.

    The Euro is much farther nw with the Cristobal low this run. Models are really deepening the system somewhere in the lakes region. No doubt the track will flop around many times as the system hangs out down in the tropics for the next few days.

    Meanwhile, two lines of storms both crapped out on/skipped over me overnight, leaving me with only 0.19" of rain. It's not our year, apparently.

    91/68 in Cedar Rapids last hour (90 this hour), the first 90º day since last July.

    It's easy to see who has been dumped on and who hasn't over the last month or two. Chicago through Michigan has been bulls-eyed. Many of the rest of of us, not so much. There is certainly no drought, but some widespread MCS action from the plains into MN/IA would be nice.

    I know you guys in Illinois have gotten walloped by rain systems this spring, but we haven't. We could use a good soaker today. A week from now, when Cristobal lifts through the central US, we will really need a soaker.

    I hope the remnants of Cristobal can track northward enough to drop some good rain here. It's too rare. You guys farther east in the subforum get this kind of thing much more often. The GFS brings it up across Iowa, but the Euro veers it east into the Ohio Valley/eastern Lakes.

    It could get rather dry around here by next week. We've already received below avg May precip. Now the Euro keeps spitting out bone dry runs.

    Next week is looking hot and humid over here. While the northeast US gets stuck under another cool trough, a strong ridge builds into the central US.

    It appears a wet pattern may be setting up from Texas up through the western subforum region. At least it will finally be warm. I'm really craving some thunderstorms.

    Good show.

    This weather pattern SUCKS!!! I've had enough of this cold crap. I should not have to be wearing my winter coat within two weeks of June. Models badly underforecasted this big cutoff low. The NWS is talking about the cloud shield holding over the region through at least Thursday, if not Friday. Ugh.

    Earlier today, Amphan was tracking more northward, well east of the Euro, but the track has been nnw for the last several hours.

    How's this for a 5-day trend for next Thursday?

    The Euro and UK now take the Bay of Bengal system a bit farther west, at least scraping the Indian coast with the center. The GFS still has a n/nne track into Bangladesh.

    I don't think northern Maine is tornado territory.

    The Euro now has the cool pool from the eastern cutoff low dominating the subforum region through next week. The 80s and humidity are gone, even for Iowa. Now it's low 70s with 50s dews.

    Models are showing a powerful cyclone hitting the northern Bay of Bengal coast next week. There has not been one in that area in quite a long time. That area used to be ground zero for huge death totals back in the 20th century.

    The euro is cutting off the eastern upper low farther west every run.

    While there will be significant warming into the weekend for our eastern members, models have shown a trend toward merging the subtropical system and the upper midwest system as they reach the mid-Atlantic region, where it parks for a while next week and cools the temp somewhat for our far eastern members.

    Models are all showing the cold pattern finally ending over the next few days. Warmth moves in Thursday and stays for good. The GFS has 80s here next week and the Euro is well into the 70s as well by late this week. The pattern may also become pretty stormy. The euro has 2-5" of rain across Iowa from day 4-7, extending eastward into the lakes as well.

    I'm a gardener. Let's not do this.

    At least I was able to get a solid thundershower around midday... heard a few rumbles and picked up 0.26" of rain. I knew that would probably be it for the day.

    For lunch today I went to the local Culver's. As I pulled into the line, a high-rider pickup truck drove by as it exited. The driver was a bearded guy with a big, white parrot perched on his shoulder. That's something you don't see every day.
