Wow!! 2.94" officially in 12 hours 4 am until 4 pm. Some brief downpours but moderate rain all day!!! Occasional thunder. On this system the models did well. Why? A stalling west to east cold from near mo/ia border never fails. It nudged north today thus the rain! It was fairly widespread in wapello county Iowa. 2026 is bringing the bacon to mby! Some deficits nearby but I am no doubt closing in on 30".

Current smoke map and then for Friday morning... can't wait.

We all do.

Yeah I said something to them about it, and they consulted their installer and he said nothing could be done about it. Most days there is enough of a breeze that it does not matter, but when its calm, it sucks.

12z AI Euro would be smoketastic. ULL parks over the WA/BC border stoking flames off to the east, then a thermal trough rides up the coast and siphons in the goods to the westside while triggering dry thunderstorms over the high terrain. This summer may be an all timer!
