- On Snowfall Click-bait “Forecasts”
Another winter, another season of people posting click-bait snowfall “forecasts” on Facebook. I use the term forecast extremely loosely, as its usually little more than a JPEG of the output of one run of one computer model. I saw a post this morning (I suspect the same one Ed Wilson was referring to during the […] - Hello November
So as usual I’m terrible at keeping things updated. I downsized two servers to save a few bucks but also tried to tweak them to work better, so hopefully the pages here load faster now. I’ve slowly been working on getting my weather-related uploads to the site switched from FTP to something more secure, or […] - Today’s Forecast: HOT
As you can see it’s pretty much hot everywhere with an Excessive Heat Warning in effect for much of the region. The warning running through 7 PM Saturday for the central third of Iowa and portions of eastern Iowa, and through 8 PM Friday in southwest Iowa. - 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 […] - Quick post – stay tuned
Just a quick post this morning.. After a few storms made their way through the state yesterday the active pattern looks to continue through the week, especially tomorrow and Thursday. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to write out some more detailed thoughts later today.. - Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. If you are traveling today please be very careful as roads are beginning to deteriorate in northwest Iowa and are currently expected to continue to do so across much of the state today as the latest round of winter weather moves through the state. Current Iowa Road Conditions as of approximately 7:55 […] - Tornado Watch in Effect Today
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Tornado Watch until 6 PM tonight for much of Iowa, roughly bounded by US Highways 30 & 63. See the map below. - Dry Weather Continues (For Now?), Burn Bans in Effect
Most of Iowa has seen little in the way of rainfall so far this month resulting in very dry conditions across the state, which has contributed to a number of wildfires. As a result, fire departments in about two dozen Iowa counties have issued bans on open burning. With rain in the forecast later this […] - Update & Severe Wx Possible Later Today..
Unfortunately with my Texas trip in April and job changes and everything I haven’t been great about keeping this current. I neglected to write up my chase log from last month as well, however seeing as how I don’t think I got any pictures its all moot. Hopefully I can keep up with things better […] - Storms Possible, Moderate Risk Along/South of US 30
All modes of severe weather are possible across most of Iowa today, with the SPC issuing a moderate risk in their forecast for central into southern Iowa. This area is primarily along and south of US Highway 30 (highlighted in red in the top left map). I may just stick around central Iowa for now […]
