In central Iowa this morning, we've already had steady rain, tiny rain-sleet-snow, large snowflakes, and now back to sleet. And the temp is slightly above freezing.
Currently raining in north Ankeny, and we had a big ol' thunder clap around 5 minutes ago.
"Early Sunday could be a snowy mess here in the metro," paraphrasing Jason Parkin at 10 last night.
Reality: Not one flake, but .73" of rain so far in this Ankeny gauge. I'll take it.

Didn’t hear any thunder this morning but rained for about 4 hours straight. Sump pump has been running quite a bit today.
Left the gauge out 1.4 inches of mixed precip so far. It will help. Roads were tricky in spots coming back from MN. 3 semis and one big tour bus all in ditches all upright I'm thinking the wind helped them, it was strong. All were in the ditch the direction the wind would have pushed them.
I don't know how much we got total in the Madison area but it's been a good soaker type of rain the last 15ish hours and is hopefully going to continue today.
I winter sowed a bunch of flowers and put the jugs in a kiddie pool Saturday. Decided to chance it with how dry it's been that no drainage holes will be ok. Welp, gotta try and dump that today.
