Another .4" in Marion. Brings us to just shy of 3" in the last 48 hours.
They're not that rare these days due to machine learning models like CSU-MLP, but I'm actually quite concerned about this one as the SPC mentioned "all-hazards" on Day 7 already which means tornadoes. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/exper/day4-8/
I think there could be capping issues though, the ECWMF showed a line of storms coming from Nebraska into Iowa yesterday, while the GFS showed supercells in Iowa, but now both models are showing barely any storms during that timeframe (4-10 pm next Monday) despite the environment being otherwise favorable.
I think the culprit could be the elevated mixed layer here (the green dew point line in the hodograph being relatively low a few kilometers at the surface compared to higher and lower up, this is a layer of dry air that oftentimes prevents surface based storms- the storms that produce those green skies that come before really bad weather).
So many jokes, so little time.
Another.3” of rain, still waiting to finish corn planting. 1 f###ing day left.
I feel like Waukee has a forcefield around it.
Storms keep going around or breaking up before they hit.

That looks like a bullseye over the state of Iowa. It is an early projection, but these early projections have been pretty accurate lately.
Crap, we leave for vacation tomorrow not coming back until Wednesday. Hate leaving a car at the airport knowing that
