Not saying this is totally accurate but this is what my weather station shows. The current dewpoint at the Cedar Rapids airport is 84°. I live right next to massive corn and bean fields. So I can’t rule this out.

The Euro and GFS are miles apart on temps, crazy difference. Euro has overnight lows on the morning of the 18th in the upper 70s to low 80s in many areas, the GFS has as low as 50 in the same area.

I'm focusing on the later period, because that's when my vacation is.

Now the 12z Euro has backed off and is much cooler for northeast Iowa and the northern/eastern extent of the heat wave for the weekend of the 17th-19th.

If I had waited until the 12z run of the GFS I would've said both models are in agreement. The GFS has completely flip flopped and has joined the Euro with oppressive conditions in the extended.

Looking at the extended, we are going to be on a houseboat on July 17-19th and am hoping for nice warm weather, but not oppressively hot. The GFS and Euro are miles apart. The GFS is seasonably cool while the Euro has a major heat wave. Below is early afternoon on the 17th. I'll be in northeast Iowa right up by the Iowa/MN/WI borders. GFS has heat indices around 80, the Euro around 100.

I'm at 1.51" today. I haven't figured out how to download my monthly totals yet on this app, but last week alone I had over 5", so well over 6.5" for the month.

My digital gauge shows 1.01" today and 5.10" for the week.

I finished with 2.87”

Rain keeps coming down here.

Another clipper tomorrow. Then 70s by Friday. LOL

Storm took just a little too long to develop for my area. Just a bit to the east reports of 9"

I don’t know how one would begin to attempt to measure this but if I’m just straight guessing I’d say we only got 2-3” of snow. When the sun comes up and I can see better I’ll take another peek and see if I still agree with tha assessment.

Latest runs of the HRRR are consistently 4-5” here with the onset of the snow delayed until after 6pm.

HRRR really amped up totals though for CR
