It's a weird sky in Central Iowa right now too. And DEAD calm. Almost Eery. Kind of nervous about what tomorrow's weather brings.

I would almost prefer the current forecast if the cells start developing in Central Iowa rather than near the South Dakota/Iowa border like they did in 2020. Spare us the straight line winds. Eastern Iowa and the QC area seems more like the target right?
Obviously anything is possible, and I’m just a couch meteorologist/storm chaser, but I see the initiation of this threat just creeping ever so slightly East with the next couple of SPC outlooks. Des Moines could get completely shut out.
I predict that it will be cold in 6 months.
It's supposed to cool down the rest of the week which is great but this muggy stuff makes me look forward to fall.
That's the benefit of living in Iowa. Weather so crappy that you eventually start looking forward to the other versions of crappy weather.
It's obvious that mother nature is trying to drive us from the land. We just aren't taking the hint.
But I too look forward to 10 days of fall before the first snow.
First you must survive the 4 weeks of asian lady beetle invasion with alternating temps of 85 and 55. Otherwise known as pumpkin spice season.
The rest of this week after today is going to be niiiiice
No see um season makes me look forward to 4 months of not being able to walk full stride due to all of the slush and ice.
KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather
The risk for severe weather is a big concern for your Monday, with all the ingredients coming together to pose that threat this afternoon and evening. Some especially intense wind gusts are possible...

we were so literally on the edge I could see it black to the south, got some sprinkles and a rainbow out of it but not much for rain. The storm the morning before though took down a number of branches in the neighborhood. I was surprised it wasn't severe warned. It woke me and I watched the trees for a while (530am) and it looked dicey.
Timing is looking like around 4-5pm. Maybe earlier, maybe later, but it looks like this morning is out of the question now.
Don't forget crazy aggressive honey bees after any and all food or drink with any kind of fragrance. Don't take a sip from that can or bottle without looking first!
I'm going to be so pissed if I lose power tonight while playing NCAA 25
