Stop criticizing everyone else who can't do that or lives in an old house where the only option would be a complete demolition and rebuild to meet your standards. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 140kt-160kt jet stream bashing into the West Coast, and there's a blocking pattern in the way. This leads to chaos. And by that I mean the the surface low will eventually cut under the block and go the Mid-Atlantic. But apparently the severe weather risk tomorrow is kind of a small slight risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 A low level jet is expected to fire up the warm front tonight from eastern Iowa through northern Illinois. The question is where, exactly, the heavy band will be. Some models hit Cedar Rapids while some are north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 This incoming rain event over the next couple days looks to be a real drought helper if not a complete buster. Pretty good shot at widespread 1-3" of rain over most of the drought areas. For some spots in S MN and Iowa that have really missed out on the rain this summer. This could legit double their 90-day rain totals at least according to AHPS. Overall a very welcome rain, even if a bit late for crops and the harvest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Nice stormy evening, with several hours of thunder and passing downpours. Almost an inch so far, with several more rounds to go through the night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 This is officially my first 1" rain event since early May. My total so far is about 1.15". There are some 2" totals on the north side of Cedar Rapids. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear you are getting the needed rains there!! Models keep dropping my QPF expectations here and now the rains won't even start until Friday night now . Okay with me as I can get a couple outside items done before the wet weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 My total is 1.24". It is unclear how much more rain we will get tomorrow. Models have really delayed the firing along the cold front. Cyclone should get another inch from that Friday morning, but I might not get much. Then, as the low moves through Iowa a secondary defo zone will fire up and drop heavy rain somewhere, but models are all over the place with that. The inch we got was much-needed, but another inch on top of that would be great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Some LER off the lake this morning ,and winds starting to pick up out of the E/NE with approaching system. Not much precip expected my way, just a wind maker. Good to see that many in the W sub should do OK with this system. Been a drier year in the Upper Mississippi region. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Rain is slowly spreading north towards the metro. Looks like 2-3” of beneficial rain area wide. Glad I don’t have to work in it tomorrow. All day soaker. One last hurrah before winter sets in, taking the family camping up north this weekend. We’ll be at Tettegoche State Park along Lake Superior. Might be setting myself up for an interesting weekend, we’ll have the dog, our 2 year old, and my wife who is 6 months pregnant. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when it's time to leave. You should be far enough north to stay away from synoptic precip when you get there, but scattered LER might affect you up that way. Very windy couple days on tap. Friday Rain likely, mainly after noon. Cloudy, with a high near 54. Windy, with an east wind 20 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Friday Night A 40 percent chance of rain, mainly before 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 44. Breezy, with a northeast wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Saturday A 20 percent chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. Breezy, with a northeast wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Saturday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 41. North wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 15 mph. Sunday Mostly sunny, with a high near 58. North wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I only got 0.22" from the cold front this morning. The rain just didn't come together in time for us. However, models show a band of heavy rain developing north of the low this evening as it moves through southeast Iowa. All models have at least one inch here. This system has been a huge bust for southern Iowa. Ottumwa is 15 inches below avg this year and they are getting nothing out of this. For a week models painted 1-3" across the entire state. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
