I don't think rain, look what happened, even the moderate to heavy rain shriveled up from those stronger storms. Until the OFB moves through and perhaps shift the winds back west, the convection to the west will probably either train or push slowly south.

It feels anything but dry out there tonight. I think some weaker action will push in later. Temp is on the way up.

Tomorrow's severe setup out in Iowa will depend on what happens with tonight's convection.  We saw that the lingering storms this morning and early afternoon really screwed the SW MN/SE SD area for storms today.  Tonight's activity will likely have an impact on tomorrow as well, but to how much and where remains a mystery.

They're getting hammered in Grant County, listening to the scanner feed a lot of the county is under water.

 

Pretty big area of 3"+ amounts. That's a hilly area - no doubt a lot of flash flooding going on across roadways.

Plenty of leftover storms over Iowa this morning.  Also a huge cloud mass associated with it.  Really muddles today's severe prospects over Iowa.  This may actually help severe prospects on the Illinois side though.  Mid-levels really drop off east of the Mississippi, but instability should build pretty nicely with plenty of sun this morning.  Wherever that outflow/differential heating boundary ends up should light up pretty good this afternoon.

LOT mentions growing instability this afternoon up to 3000 J/KG per the NAM but also admits it might be overdone. Pure sunshine here now with temp of 77. Doesn't feel quite as swampy as yesterday, but dewpoint currently at 65. As Cyclone mentions... Could be good something to watch in IL later.

The 12z NAM makes Tuesday afternoon/evening look fun in IA/IL/southern WI with better mid-level flow coming over lots of instability. Upwards of >5000 j/kg of SBCAPE and even pokes PWATS up to 2.2" late in the evening. I'll be arriving back home somewhere in the late evening too.

A few of the cells on the front edge of the line in Iowa have had tops over 45kft.  Instability will only continue to grow out ahead of the line.  It's starting to move out of the area with the better bulk shear though, so it's gonna have to maintain awhile longer before it can rely solely on instability/developing cool pool.

The line of weak crapvection has moved across the entire state and probably ruined the chance of anything decent later.  Locations from here back through Des Moines have dropped into the 60s to around 70.

 

Yeah SPC just hacked away most of Iowa.  Only play today looks to be with the remnant outflow/ongoing broken line of storms.  Northeast MO, far southeast IA and west-central IL looking the best right now.  Storms north of I-80 not looking as good, and feeding off of lower instability.

Yep, I think I saw him post that he was going to move to OK after completing course work at Eastern IL Univ. in Charleston.  Anyway, some incipient cells are forming northward of the flash flood warning complex in other parts of central IL at this time.

Pretty sure Jhamps moved to Dallas.

85/71 here at 3:00. Bubbling cumulus. Let's see if we can make it three days in a row in the LAF...

Ah, I stand corrected on Jhamps whereabouts.   Looks like action might be picking up a bit for us in IL and In this Sunday even though the more powerful storms and stronger flow might not arrive till midweek.
