Ames
I think most of Ames got over a half inch. North Ames .7”.
At this point I will just assume that you always get 2-3x what everyone else in Ames gets.

I will say, it was pleasant to drive to the mall yesterday and see lawns that had green in them.

He probably uses FieldView that thing reads about twice as much as what people actually get

There you go thinking again. :rolleyes: I don't know where you live in North Ames, but I live a couple blocks east of the mall and my neighbor told me his gauge showed around .3" and mine showed the same.

Looks like we are ready for a rain to head right for us and turn into a popcorn fart. Still super fried grass in central iowa here.

What are the chances it holds together long enough to hit the DSM metro?

Crazy storm just kind of popped up out of nowhere and rained pretty hard in West Des Moines a bit ago along with some hail too. Hearing some reports of golf ball sized hail on I235 right now

Ankeny
Saw some video of it from WDM, looked like a bunch of hail coming down.

Was sad to see the band of rain missing ankeny, but I can do without the hail.

Raining and some decent hail at my house with that cell that popped up. Front yard is brown so any rain is good.
