Looks like an "appetizer" clipper will be hitting some peeps near OMA towards DSM and points south, esp near @OttumwaSnomow into N IL on Thursday...

I wouldn’t get too worried about a bad gfs run in the long range

Sometimes a little extra for the ocean view is worth it...

We had a lot of rain here yesterday and it does seem like the grass is greener, but I would not call it springtime green. You've had more snow than me though and I wonder if that snowmelt is also contributing to a greener appearance.

SCORE.
