Looks like Chicago is about to get hit!

Up here in Minnesota excessive rainfall potential for the next 7 days is a bit concerning. All the Mets are talking about it. Hot and humid with severe weather potential as well.

Expecting a pretty good line of storms to develop and blow through here tomorrow. After that we go into a dry and comfortable stretch.

A lot of flooding around the town my Iowa property is located. Neighbors are checking my basement. So far it's dry and the pump hasn't even kicked on. Im.thinking the water will settle into the ground over the next couple days and the pump will be getting a workout.

Local met bumped my area up to 4-6" of rain tomorrow through tomorrow night. Gonna be interesting to see how this pans out!

Been a while since I've been in a Flood Watch, wow. Over 3" of rain possible tomorrow along with strong to severe storms. Should be an exciting day. Had .29" last night and it has turned muggy today with the sun breaking out and temps reaching the upper 70s.

I'm a bit late reporting but my weather station recorded 1.52" from this week's system. Pretty much right on with the models and forecast. Things are greening up nicely around the TC metro......although today was cold and windy with some snow showers. Only reached 37° today. Freeze Warning tonight! Yuck. I am more than ready for sustained spring weather.

Mid 70s and sunny this weekend here in the TC. I'm ready for it. Storms next week?

My guess is we ended with 8-9" here. I haven't looked for any official totals. I've been working long hours. It's compacted a lot so whatever the total is we never saw that much on the ground at once. We're in a WWA tomorrow as the backside swings through. Local met has another 2-4" tomorrow after we get a round of sleet/frz rain. Very compact system!

Eyeballing 6-7". Very wet and heavy

Starting to snow a bit harder. Temp actually dropped from 31 to 30 so that's a good sign.

Local met just showed thundersnow down by Austin and Rochester. Heavy snow band across southern MN is expected to lift in to the metro over the next few hours.

I've been watching that. Hopefully it starts filling in. I'm eyeballing maybe 2"

Radar looks impressive down in IA. That heavy precip is what will be lifting north today.

MPX mentioning 2"/hr rates and power outtages possible. Pretty cool wording "it will be snowing so hard" In other words, it will be snowing so hard that the atmosphere won`t warm up and transition to rain as quickly until the precipitation intensity drops off. For that reason, we anticipate that later this afternoon into the overnight hours should be the most impactful timeframe for this storm. Travel will be the primary impact, but the potential for rates of 2"/hr (especially east of I-35) could lead to power outages as trees become weighed down by the wet and heavy snow
