hawkeye_wx Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 The awesome summer season of 2016 strikes again. Two more rounds of heavy rain moved through the Cedar Rapids area last night. I received another two inches of rain, which boosted my 24 hour total to 2.91". The north side of the city got bullseyed with 3.5-4.6". This is the third time this summer I've received at least 2.9" from an event. Some part of the Cedar Rapids metro area has been hit with 3-4+ inches at least four times.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Picked up another 0.55" of rain today to boost my September total to about 3.5". Part of northern Iowa got hit hard again this morning. The area around Decorah has been crushed in recent weeks. I'm really looking forward to the cooler, breezy weather this weekend.

Trent Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 What's most impressive about the heat this September is the lack of relief at night. The last time the temperature here was below 70, was back on Monday, a full 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A raw 56 degrees with lake enhanced rain and wind. September's rainfall total is now 3"....add that to the 5.10" in August and it's pretty wet up here. Lake still averaging an above normal 61 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high temps weren't even top 10, it was the night time lows that sealed the deal. There is so much moisture in the atmosphere. I would assume that el nino pumped a ton of moisture into the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it did feel quite humid this summer. But I think the drought like conditions for much of the summer helped "cool" things more at night compared to the high temps which are usually boosted in drought.

The drought did actually boost the high temperature this season to an extent. The evidence of this was the several impressive late-day rallies DTW had this season. It's just that the overall airmass was never all that hot to begin with (given the lack of drought conditions in the Plains), so the highs never got completely out of hand.

Oddly enough, the past 10 years or so have generally been like that, with the lush green grass and rainy weather in August / September (which were normally the driest months out of the year). It's the Summer equivalent of our increasingly snowy Februaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 CR officially hit 49 this morning. The in-town stations bottomed out in the low 50s. It's a gorgeous weekend.
