Powerball Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Up to 57 with partly sunny skies. An improvement over yesterday, but definitely not beach or pool weather. - unless you got a heated pool! It seems like this is the slowest starts to consistent warm wx that I can remember. Pretty wet to DLL on the 12z GFS. And also lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 And also lol. I was just going to say SE MI is being left out. You'd like the NAM better. More evenly distributed. LAF & OH is still on the short end of the stick. Edit: Newest NAM HIRES has the I-80/90 corridor getting pounded with MCS's. http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/Imageanis.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAF & OH is still on the short end of the stick. It's highly unlikely that we go through another event without some decent rains while everyone around us gets some. The odds are definitely on our side this time around. But just the thought of it is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Nice elevated sup on the H8 WF near Storm Lake Iowa. Heavy overcast with light rain, and a temp of 53 here. Luckily have a string of 80 degree days again starting Tue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 We would basically wipe out our short term precip surplus (since March 1) if no rain falls in the next week. Still in pretty good shape if going from January 1. We might get enough rain to hold it off. It's never gonna rain here again. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 We were stuck in a dry pocket for quite a while this morning and we still managed to reach 0.97" of rain thanks to a heavy cell at the back corner of the MCS. My 2-day total is 2.15". The next round is already organizing wnw from central through nw Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up 0.08" from today's rain. 2-day total now at 0.38". MLI has had almost an inch and a half, just 30 miles southwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 This is getting crazy. Each new WPC 7-day rain forecast stays the same with 5-7 inches across the entire state of Iowa. That's on top of the widespread 2-4 inches(isolated 5-7") that has already fallen across much of the area yesterday and today. Storms over central Iowa continue to organize and strengthen, aimed in my direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storms over central Iowa continue to organize and strengthen, aimed in my direction. At least the past few weeks have been dry, which will prevent a repeat of June 2008. Still, there is going to be some major flooding on many area rivers but it won't get to record levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Only 57 for a high here today. Very heavy rains training just south of here. Hearing from friends that there's a lot of street flooding going on right now in Davenport and Moline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Please, no more cold air until October! Getting tired of having the house shut up because it's too cool for open windows. 65-75 would be great for a couple weeks. GFS has this are over to Frostfern in the cross hairs for 3" + in the next 72 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Northwest Iowa is lit up yet again late this evening, but I'm thinking this MCS will tend to dive southeast through the Des Moines area like the previous one did. I'm assuming the big line of storms over northern Missouri will make it tough for a big complex to push eastward into eastern Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 0.77" rain here today. Certainly not a small amount of rain, but compared to the 4"+ seen just 20 miles south/southwest near the QC it's not too impressive. Heavy rains have gone out of the way to miss this area the last few days. Gotta guess it's mother nature knowing how to avoid areas that were previously doused with flooding rains recently.

Justin Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Lots of problems not far from me. Have Duck Creek going crazy about a block or so away. Lots of street flooding and street closures. Hope another three plus inches doesn't materialize...don't need anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope another three plus inches doesn't materialize...don't need anymore. Yeah that isn't good at all, however I am concerned that you guys are at least going to be scraped by the Northern fringes of the MCS in Western IA. Hopefully the worst of it slides to the South.

Chicago WX Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It does rain in the LAF after all. 0.93" since yesterday evening. Much higher amounts just to the northwest where there's currently FFWs in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nothing around here overnight as western Iowa storms are diving south. The big MCV is pooping out as it tries to progress eastward across Iowa. With the front/boundaries being reinforced farther south I'm wondering if that's where tonight's heavy stuff may end up again with us not getting much.
