Overnight Storms, Weather Wire

Not much to report weather wise lately other than a couple back-to-back nights of storms with heavy rain, I dumped about 2.7″ out of the gauge at the house this afternoon. Looks like there might be a chance for some more yet this morning, but probably mainly north of US 30 by radar trends so far. Most of the wind damage seemed to stay north of my area, although a fair amount of damage was reported around Fort Dodge and Eagle Grove.

 

With the NWS apparently looking to discontinue the EMWIN ByteBlaster feed, I’ve had to look into an alternate method of feeding my weather alerting software. Fortunately, the new NWS Weather Wire is free and supported by my software (Weather Message), after purchasing the necessary addon. I have a couple other programs that are fed from the ByteBlaster feed that I have yet to figure out how to feed. Fortunately the feed doesn’t appear to be going away until the end of the year.
