Storm Watch

Everyone stay safe and don't take chances with this.

Truthfully, I'd rather watch live megadoppler in ANY weather than watch the Stanley Cup Finals.

I think you'd be in the minority.

My preference would be to have the Finals on in full screen HD with the Doppler in my PIP.

Send some of that rain down this way!! Just not too much - we did just start hurricane season....

I, too, have to side with the radar.

It's not that I hate hockey, its that I just can't bear to watch it. It's like tennis - I love the sport, but unless I'm watching either Federer or Djokovic, I'm hardpressed to watch more than one set.

Thanks SH.

Nothing heavy around Cedar Rapids?

Not yet but probably later tonight. Looks like this system is moving that way.

I would rather watch the Stanley Cup than the radar. I can get that on my computer or another channel.
However, if it was the NBA finals, I would watch the radar over that. Sorry, I just have ZERO interest in the NBA.

But, I won't argue with the split screen.

Pray for Cyclone Erik's safety. He's always driving to work about the time the storms hit! Sometimes thirdshift is a pain.

Well it looks like the entire state is going to get hit. I'm no meteorologist, so I'm not going to predict the severity that you'll see over there. But it would appear that the main meat of the storm is going to travel from central to northeast Iowa.

We've been fighting a fair amount of flooding the past few weeks at work. I appreciate the info ISU Alum2002

Wait a second, the NHL is still around? So if a puck falls in the NHL arena, does it make a noise or is that like a tree falling in a forest where nobody is there to know?

I see that basically every night up until next week there's a high chance for significant storms.

This winter and now this unusual spring makes me wonder what a Southern-bred football coach must think about his new home. I realize nothing about Iowa weather is normal, but this is definitely not normal. Or at least it doesn't seem that way to me.

I heard that Eastern Iowa is getting quite a lot of water. I know Iowa City has had a lot of flooding too.

Actually I'd rather watch my "little buddy" bleed from his eye than watch the NHL...

Currently we have 2 main storms from near Corning to south of Indianola those are moving to the east slowly (20 mph or so). The monster supercell near Nodoway just produced a torn again. Those should stay south of us, but there's a huge complex moving in from eastern Nebraska that looks to arrive around midnightish. Give your wx radio a goodnight kiss
