I see the airport is reporting a 48mph gust. I don't get it. I can literally see the airport out my office window at work and it didn't get nearly that windy here. I've golfed in stronger winds than what just moved through.
Got a decent downpour here and some really loud thunder, but the wind never really picked up much at all. It wasn't anywhere near severe level. The warning seemed unnecessary.
Agreed, not very impressive. There were some severe thunderstorm warnings, but those have elapsed and not issued further north. Looks like we'll have 2 waves of storms, maybe the second wave will be more intense.
Setup at a farm in Edinburgh, IN. Beautiful weather currently. I believe totality here is supposed to be 3 minutes and 56 seconds. It will be my first total eclipse. Looking forward to it.
Well the GFS shows 12.6" of snow falling in Iowa City by 1pm. Hard to imagine how a model could be so far off. That would mean 6" per hour starting right now to hit this mark.
HRRR continues to show that rain will change to snow here. And although it will likely be hard to accumulate, it should come down pretty good for a bit.
12z model runs showing warning criteria snow for much of central and eastern Wisconsin. They may get hammered tomorrow and Wednesday. The storm even starts to throw snow back into eastern Iowa. The GFS is the most aggressive. Showing 10:1 maps just to illustrate snow potential, but actual accumulations would be considerably less.
