***Official 2025 Weather Thread***
We're struggling to get moisture back into central Iowa on Friday for afternoon/evening t-storms. This is a double edged sword. It largely diminishes the chance of tornadoes in central Iowa as it forces the bottom of the storm higher in the sky. But at the same time the drier air under the... -

There's going to be a narrow band that brings some big totals somewhere very near US 20 tonight into tomorrow. Think 6"+ could be in play in a larger band that's more 1-3, maybe 4" -

Worst would be right away/closest to Waterloo. On the edge where snow amounts really drop and there's weaker winds compared to western Iowa. -

One other notable I should have gotten: 4-9-1973 - 57 mph wind gust. My mother reminds me of this one often. Others where wind gusts were not recorded include the Armistice Day blizzard 11-11-1940. Sustained winds were 44 mph (which is hella impressive) This is getting up there with some of... -

This will be a legit blizzard. Be thankful we don't have any snow on the ground. Don't focus on the forecast snow amount so much. All we need is 'some'. We'll have enough. I see anywhere from 2-7" across central/western/northern Iowa. Although, good luck ever measuring that. Winds going... -

If you traveled across northern Iowa today... chances are you saw some of this. Nasty. Can easily lead to accidents. This was actually on IA 14 at the Marshall/Grundy County Line. I was mistaken in my tweet. -

Why is it so difficult? Watch the video at the raw data. :) -

I don't even want to put a snow forecast for Saturday out. There are so many inconsistencies on strength and placement in the data. I do think we end up with a narrow, enhanced band of snow. But figuring out where it will be is difficult. There will be some with 6-7" I'm thinking... but as... -

Hey friends... heads up for Friday. On the surface it doesn't seem like it could be too bad of a day, but my days in Minnesota tell me this is one to watch. Take a fresh deep snow pack of fluff and add 35-45 mph wind gusts... you have nastiness. Temps will be warming through the day which... -

Shameless plug. Dry consistency... high snow ratios. This one will add up more efficiently. South of I80, be prepared for a heavy amount. -

Percentage of Precipitation typically don't handle drizzle very well at all. Most PoPs are for larger hygrometeors like Rain/snow/sleet. Also radar doesn't typically handle drizzle well either. Very shallow layer of moisture with very miniscule returns. Add that to the radar beam that... -

Calling my shot. Record high tomorrow in Des Moines. 57° Record is 56° (1931) -

Right? They still need to cut costs somehow. I do however hope other owners groups take notice of this being a mistake. There are others out there doing the same thing on a smaller scale. -

Allen Media is trying to unring the bell. Sounds like they're backtracking on their decision to drop local mets. -

Gray and Tegna have also done some hubbing of weather too. Hope they don't go as extreme as Allen has. It's a shame. Makes me worry about my long term viability in the industry. -
Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?
These tags are everywhere where the price is the same as competition. I don’t think this is quite the flex they think it is. -
Finishing Basement
Finished my basement summer 23, much like the OPs. Lookout with wrap insulation as shown. I did 2x4 walls inside of this (and utilities) pushing as close as I could for that section of wall. I then insulated the 2x4 walls with rolled fiberglass. Rocked over. As far as the inspector deal. I...- MNCYWX
