daddylonglegs Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Could really use some rain here. I'm water a lot of young plants daily and they still look stressed. Hopefully we cash in the next 7 days on some decent rains. Clouds moved in fast this evening, but radar shows the rain still a ways off... Still very warm.

Really nice outside right now - currently 63°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Some storms popped up a little ways west of here. Looked pretty threatening to the west a little while ago. Some high winds reported out in the nose of Iowa with that little cluster heading north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 A heavy cell moved up west of CR and then some heavier cells with strong wind moved up to the east of CR, but I didn't get anything. Tuesday night looks like the big show as a large complex moves across Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Kind of a wet month here at over 4", but nothing too crazy. Overall I'd say it was pretty typical May weather for these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 That's obviously a reporting error/typo. FWA had an intense thunderstorm on May 27. Thanks. You're absolutely right. I knew that had to be wrong. Got me wondering if in fact there ever has been a May at FWA (or any area station for that matter) that didn't experience a t-storm. EDIT: Spoke with a met at IWX. The correct total is eight.
