^Nice pics Bo.

Stuck under a stratus deck for the 3rd day in a row.  Kind of early in the season for persistent stratus decks around here.  

Thursday night is looking pretty stormy around here.  Not expecting severe, as that will likely take place further west/south, but could be several non-severe storms racing through later in the night.

New 00z Euro run says that might get a bit hairy. Mid/even upper 60s dews into IA with plenty of deep/low level shear and a fairly widespread area of >1000 J/kg of CAPE (even close to 2000 in parts).

Yep, pretty impressive little setup.  

I love these strong baroclinic setups this time of the year.  Breezy, humid, warm temps in the 70s all evening long, while a few hundred miles west a biting north wind with temps in the 40s.

It's always fun to be outside when those very strong cold fronts come through. You can sometimes feel the temperature drop.

Oy. I'm on the wrong side of that line. 41 and t-storms here tomorrow night. Down to 34 on Friday night. ''Tis the season.

Like the last system just before our river flood eleven days ago, this system looked like a widespread soaker across eastern Iowa, but didn't amount to much.  I picked up about a tenth of an inch from a quick-moving cell earlier (decent lightning), but that's going to be about it.  The main swath of rain has been southeast.

The first upper 30s with 30-degree windchill have arrived in nw Iowa this evening.  Here in east-central Iowa we just passed our avg first frost date and there are still no sub-40 temps in sight.

Well, tonight sure ended up being interesting.  Totally blew off tonight, as expected things to arrive much later than they did, and in a weaker state.  Storms held together pretty nicely as they neared the MS River.  A few decent circulations developed and became tor warned.  One went right through the heart of Davenport and Bettendorf.  Interested to see what they find from that tomorrow.  That circulation passed about 8 miles NW of here, but came pretty close to my brother's place.  Another tor warned circulation from the southern portion of the QC headed this way, but crapped the bed (luckily) before reaching us.  The storms delivered a solid punch though, with 40-50mph gusts, and blinding torrents of rain.  Looked like a hurricane for a brief period, which was interesting considering I've been following Matthew the past several days lol.  Picked up over a half inch in short order, and put us up to 1.09" for the day.  

More storms rolling in as we speak, but not expecting anymore severe tonight.

Warm this morning! 62 with some rain and thunder. Temps should fall into the 40's by later today and even a mention of snow in my point for early tomorrow. Certainly will feel cold compared to the great fall weather so far.

also interesting to note... frost/freeze products  from mqt end today. They issued one frost advisory a few weeks ago and that was it. Some historical warmth this fall in the UP.

ok... back to watching Matt

I don't think we have even had a frost for freeze warning issues this year and APX already stopped for the year. I wonder the last time this has happened for the area. On a side note colors our looking pretty good now in the area.

My typical first freeze in mid October, it might not happen on time. Thursday is the biggest threat for that, but that's iffy.

You just beat me lol.  Yeah, the track of that EF-1 is pretty crazy.  Right through the heart of a very densely populated area in Davenport and Bettendorf.  Just glad it was a relatively weak tornado.  

 

Nice and cool today.  Temps held near 60 most of the day with breezy conditions.  Dews down in the 30s.  Coldest night of the season on the way for tonight, with lows forecast near 40.  47 is the coldest we've been up to this point, which is pretty crazy.

So Matthew never officially made landfall correct? The streak of major hurricane not striking the U.S continues lol missed by 20 miles. Looped the radar as that came out of Nassau, it's amazing how Matthew perfectly paralleled the coast, a rare track for sure. 

 

Onto to more local, September finished +5.5 AN, and 7 days into October we are running at +7, will surely be adding to that by next week. It's just amazing to me the lack of cold falls the last 4-5 years.

Not this time around at least.

May have another shot a week from now if some of the latest models are correct, lol.

If we have to deal with these tropical systems, let's just continue to keep the **** out of the Gulf and I'm a happy camper.
