Season Change

September 21, 2018

We went from near 90 degrees Thursday afternoon to the 50s Friday afternoon. It was just one day early before the official start to Fall Saturday evening at 8:45 pm. With that in mind there are frost advisories in effect tonight for areas to our north.

Here is a look at the average first frost across Iowa.

The clouds were clearing this evening as the sun was setting and it made for a pretty looking sky. Here are a few photos from around the area.

Top 10 Wettest

September 18, 2018

Showers and storms moved through eastern Iowa Tuesday morning into the early afternoon. Rain came down heavy with the storms during the morning. There were some strong wind gusts with the storms as well. Waterloo reported a peak wind gust of 39 mph, Cedar Rapids 50 mph, Iowa City 52 mph and Dubuque had just 26 mph. Through the early evening, everyone has received at least 0.50″. The map below shows the amounts across eastern Iowa.

There is no more rain in the forecast through midnight so the 1.34″ of rain in Waterloo is most likely the total for the day. That amount ties the daily record originally set in 1900.
