Getting dry down here in the Davis Co., I doubt we have gotten two inches of rain over the past month. Yesterday we received a couple of drops and that was it. Raining all around us, but none of it here in town.
Another 0.1 in Marion this afternoon.
That's more than I got on the NE side.Another 0.1 in Marion this afternoon.
And the answer was….NO! Sucks!
Jealous. Also West Ames and the gauge was just under .1" was watching the rain on the radar basically split our house - red to the North and red to the South.West Ames .4 inch after pouring rain, occasional sharp lighting and occasional thunder. Plus gutters full of tree seeds. Ugh.
We had this yesterday between Salt Lake and Provo. Not my picture, but we watched it for quite a while. Thought I might see my first tornado, and not even in Iowa.
The jet stream being split up into two branches over North America right now is allowing a persistent high-pressure ridge to sit over southern Canada, so our steering winds are coming from the east lately.The current radar threw me for a loop, I had to check several radar apps to confirm that storms are in fact going East-West today.
