PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
Looking over the over 300 cocorahs locations across Iowa mby has 3rd most precip in 2024! And even more shocking given how far SE I am, I recorded the 2nd most snowfall in Iowa! Only Coralville eeked out a inch more snow. No doubt about after December 2023 this area a magnet for precip! Doesn't really surprise me though. In 2017 I spent a couple days researching and Ottumwa Iowa Kirksville Mo have the wildest swings and deviations from averages in the midwest! Bermuda triangle here of crazy ups and downs in precip. The past 13 months totally bear this out. Yes all location flucuate but the swings here historically are mind blowing!
Meanwhile, what a lovely and variable day here. Morning fog, then sunshine giving way high clouds and mild temps, with rain moving in by late afternoon and temps quickly falling into the 50s. 65/41 spread.
54 with rain currently. Really nice vibe out there this evening with rain falling and everything being so lush and green. Really like the lighting on these cloudy or rainy evenings in May or June. Have picked up .20” on the day so far and counting.
