  1. As feared, the overnight storms all stayed just north and east of here. Models lately had been showing that, but was hoping they would be wrong. Rained only a few hundredth overnight.
  2. Looks like @Hawkeye I should be getting some nice training storms.
  3. I haven't read any of October thread yet so I have quite a bit of catching up to do sometime.
  4. Had quite the little thunderstorm with quite a bit of hail here a little over an hour ago. The largest stone I measured was 1.50" in diameter. Most were only 1/2" dia. or less though quite a few were around 1" and round with some flatter stones. I sadly wasn't at home at the time, but drove through some of it. A few spots had the ground almost covered. The earlier cells today only amounted to a tenth of an inch here, and last storms about 0.40". Total so far 0.48", but wouldn't be surprised it'd be half inch since there was no hail in the gauges, which means it probably bounced out and likely would have added to the total! That's a good start and hopefully I get a lot more rain the next few days.
  5. Nobody knows what the weather will be like next winter including anyone on here, but it's still fun to guess and dream about and look at maps. I don't pay much attention to any forecast beyond a few weeks to a month!
  6. Just hope nobody lets China buy any of the land with those deposits.
  7. I really think it's just a natural cycle like it is with apple and other fruit trees here that I take care of. Every other year apples will over produce and take energy out of the tree, and it needs a year to recover, and in the following year it again has a huge crop unless something upsets the cycle like a late frost damaging the blooms. If most blooms would be damaged in a heavy-producing year, it of course wouldn't produce many apples either, but would then the following year because it would have plenty of energy that didn't go into producing apples. But then again, I don't know too much about nut trees so the same principle might not apply.
  8. I picked up only 0.18" yesterday a.m. while a few miles se. got half inch. Crazy how it's been raining more a few miles se. pretty much all summer.
  9. Some of the models look a little wetter again for eastern Iowa this weekend after a day or two of backing off. Still not looking as good as it had earlier this week though. Maybe the system currently to the sw. can bring spotty showers today, but good showers are passing just east of Iowa as usual.
  10. Only had 0.13" total here out of that system. My monthly total so far sitting at only an even 1". My August total was only 1.80". It's been extremely dry for parts of eastern Iowa this year!
  11. I was just east of the main rain area with mostly dry and warm wx continuing here as well.
  12. That's likely what the cocaine found in the White House was for. Otherwise he'd be even crazier! And maybe Hunter also used it.
  13. For here it was pretty lame. Only 0.34" with much heavier storms passing just Northeast and southwest. Seems like I never get a direct hit this year, which is good only if it's a bad storm or it's too wet already. We may be going back to warmer and dryer for a spell after around 10 days. Hopefully not. But it's disturbing that most of the models are drying up the Sunday system with not much rain here at all. ugh Thankfully that's a couple days away yet so it could change. Also need to see if we'll get any storms this afternoon, but DVN doesn't seem very hopeful for my area.
  14. Yes I couldn't react last night while I was catching up on this forum and it still isn't working.
  15. Some of the models were, and still are bringing in a good round of storms tomorrow morning. Sure hope they're right. On Tuesday there were spotty showers and t. storms all around me with one so close I could hear the rain falling while I got nothing. But later that afternoon a tail end tiny cell dropped 0.21". Then yesterday I got only a few hundredth with more just south. PS... I fell asleep before I got this posted around midnight and now we're having a t. storm already! Somehow I awoke just before it moved in.
  16. Actually thought rain amounts would be more uniform across my community but 2 of my siblings around 6 miles to my southeast got nearly 2".
  17. You folks take Dewey to serious. Knowing him, I think he was making fun of Ice again with sarcasm. Sorry if I'm jumping to conclusions.
  18. I ended up with a nice soaking rainfall total of 1.10". Mainly just light to moderate rates and no thunder. Hoping for more this week as it was very dry! Rain began around 5:00pm yesterday and ended after midnight today.
  19. I'm feeling the opposite, but I'm also a little further south. I'm riding the edge with the HRRR and had noticed the RRFS is about the only one that misses here, but I'm not sure how accurate that model is. Sometimes it seems way off. I like the WPC for here as well. Let's hope the driest areas get the most, but it's often doesn't work out that way.
  20. Yes it looked like a mini hurricane spinning like a top on radar! https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=DVN-N0B-0-200-100-usa-rad
  21. I like this day three excessive rainfall outlook from the WPC.
  22. The drought has worsened to the severe category again in my area after being in the moderate rating for a few weeks. Was rated severe earlier in July also. About all the models are showing a band of heavy rain cross southern Iowa/northern Missouri tonight. I might get the northern edge. I wish it would be further north.
  23. I totally agree with the first paragraph, and the second paragraph I don't know or understand enough about to share my thoughts.
  24. But it seemed like earlier this summer and spring they had been in one of the driest areas, so things are averaging out somewhat. We need to get a dryer corridor from nw. to se. Iowa etc filled in too yet. Actually much of Iowa is well below normal in the last 30 days and longer.
  25. Just spoke with my sister who lives north of Grand Island, and they also got over 1". And they now had around, or over 4" just since last Saturday!
