Here in MBY I had 0.07” of rain yesterday with a short heavy shower. The overnight low was 69 and at the current time it is cloudy and 73. What was once a large area of rain to the west is now just a few broken showers along a weak front.

New poll out says 75% of voters think the Democrats have a better chance to win with a different candidate. I agree with Tim that anyone younger and more mentally competent than Biden changes this race dramatically. Lots of people out there have little to no love for either candidate, and would be excited just to have a different option. And it seems like the Dems are starting to come around to this.

1.09" with this much hyped event. Run of the mill thunderstorm. By the looks of it I have one of lower totals in southern Iowa. Again!!!! Look at the donut hole. Models had me solidly in the 2 plus inches. But thankfully getting some rain.

From a couple nights ago. Cleared up just enough to light the tops of some evening showers to my east.

As I expected the storm weakened as it arrived and I got .31 inches. More rain this afternoon expected along with another chance of severe weather tomorrow.
