  1. 00z GDPS (Canadian) is still on the south edge of the model range, agreeing with the 18z Euro.
  2. All the short-term models (hrrr/nam/fv3) are still well north of the 18z Euro.
  3. The 00z GFS nudged north as well. The south edge in Iowa may be razor sharp. The Chicago area at least gets a late influx of moisture as the wave reaches them, which spreads the love a bit.
  4. The northern stream dominates. The good energy gets stuck in the sw US and then strung out across the south.
  5. The main storm and secondary energy both disappointed here. I finished with a grand total of one inch.
  6. The Euro has hardly budged an inch over the last few runs.
  7. The Iowa NWS offices are saying there should be a favorably-deep DGZ.
  8. A few of the models overdid the snow here, on the nw edge. I only got 0.6". The trailing energy dropping in from the north now may also produce its snow a bit farther east. I might get another 0.5" tonight.
  9. The 00z UK has shifted north with the GFS and Euro.
  10. The 00z Euro has the upper energy digging southward into Iowa pulling some moisture back northwestward through cyclone and into northeast Iowa. Models have been teasing this a bit, but it comes and goes. It wasn't there on the 12z Euro.
  11. I received 1.1". Models never agreed, but I got about the average of all of them. The wet Euro from a couple days ago was very wrong, but so were the bone-dry CAMs.
  12. Models have this upper low dipping across the Mexico border. That's simply too far south for Iowa. We need this to move east across NM and into the TX panhandle.
  13. Unsurprisingly, the 00z Euro did pull back a bit from its 18z run. However, it still has a decent, light event. I'd like to get some insulation on the ground before the cold moves in. I'd take 2".
  14. The 18z Euro suddenly greatly increased the band of snow up through Cedar Rapids. We went from 1" on the 12z to 3+" on the 18z. The 18z H5 maps show a sharper wave over my area, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's just a one-run blip. Other models are much drier.
  15. My final snow slop total is 1.3". The liquid total is 0.56".
  16. We started as snow, but quickly flipped to mix for a while. Once we flipped back to snow much of the precip had lifted north. My mix/snow total is 1.1". The liquid total is over a half inch, so this stuff is super wet.
  17. Yeah, it's nearing 60º south of I-80, but only mid 40s at my house. The cell is weakening as it moves into CR.
  18. Tornado warning just sw of Cedar Rapids.... confirmed tornado.
  19. It's always fun to go from middle of the heavy band to little or nothing in 24 hours.
