Woohoo!!! 1.69" First real precip in 57 days! And my biggest rain since July. Hope more later today!

Enhanced risk here today, mainly for hail but wind/tornado possible too. My suspicion is that I'll be right on the edge of the stronger stuff to my east/southeast.

Winter Weather Advisory for tonight. Up to one inch of snow/sleet and two tenths of ice. Hope we can keep the ice accumulation down. That stuff ain't no fun.

A few small storms around this morning but maybe a strong line tonight. I will have to see how much sunshine I get today, that will dictate any severe weather tonight.

The heavier cells trained across southeast Iowa overnight, but a big blob of solid rain up here was able to drop exactly 1 inch in my yard. There were a couple huge cracks of thunder, including one at the very beginning, after which my internet was out for a few hours. It appears Ottumwa finally got some heavy rain. If we can clear out, there could be some good storms this evening.
