Dust Storm warnings up behind the line of storms.

Agree Grizz. Very eerie out there this morning for sure. Nice to not have to wear a coat though.

Last couple of years have been slow starts. But it seems like we get through the holiday season and it really cranks up. Record cold snaps as well during the active periods.

Happy thanksgiving!

0z Short term hi-res models seem to be trending wetter for my backyard. Hopefully that verifies.

I'll be honest, i thought the exact same thing when i looked at radar.

Lightning hit less than 100 yards from my car on the way to the office this morning. That’ll wake you up!

Picked up a quick .55”

What a great way to start the week. Glad we are getting this before the heat sets back in

Porta John tipped over across the street from the wind.

Pouring and wind picking up here.

This thing may end up sagging south as well. My yard needs rain so maybe im wishcasting now

Yeah that is for sure. Unfortunately not more than a sprinkle yet. I hope that stuff west of us can hold on

Insane cloud to ground lightning just north of my house right now

Yeah, pretty sad. I’m not optimistic about tonight either.

Let’s hope this transpires!

Are you serious? If you remember we had a derecho last year. I for one have been glad we haven’t had severe weather this year.

This was taken two nights ago during the tornado outbreak in Iowa. The sirens did go off here in Marion for a tornado warned cell just north of town. This was taken at an event center just a few miles from my house.

Confirmed tornado near center point

Sinking now

Well The HRRR didn't make it out as far as i took the 3km NAM so i wasn't really comparing apples to apples. (my bad) Differences still though yes, but the precip was still ongoing further south at the end of the HRRR run.

3km NAM
