The station has been around since 1986, so it is about time it
was added to the IEM :) Actually, the station was sort of not
online recently, but now it is back and reporting data from the
ISU Horticulture Farm just NE of Ames. Regardless, it is available
on the IEM now.

+----------------------------------------------
The fall season begins our transition to much stronger storm systems as the contrast between warm and cold air helps to drive very dynamic systems. The featured image is a map of radar reflectivity from Sunday evening with surface fronts drawn by yours truely. This storm system is in its occluded stage with the low pressure center well behind the warm and cold fronts. Sometimes this formation is called a "T-bone". Another strong system is expected to affect our weather already on Tuesday as our active pattern continues.

| Title : Losing our heat
| Date : 02 Oct 06:33 AM
| Votes : Good: 11 Bad: 7
+----------------------------------------------
The featured graph is of average daily soil heat flux as measured by the USDA-ARS-NSTL Flux site from 2006. Positive values indicate a download flux of heat (warming), while negative values indicate a net loss of heat to the atmosphere (cooling). About half of the year the ground is being warmed, while it loses heat for the other half. We are currently in that other half period of the year with our soils heat being "lost" back into the atmosphere and eventually back into space. The average value of this plot is roughly +1 W m-2, which is within the sensor's sensitivity, and close to zero, which we would expect for a long period of time.

| Title : So many interesting things
| Date : 03 Oct 12:32 AM
| Votes : Good: 33 Bad: 2
+----------------------------------------------
Tuesday was an amazing weather phenomena day. The morning started with Kelvin-Helmholtz instability waves that produced remarkable cloud formations and velocity signatures on NEXRAD. The featured image contains a trace of temperature and dew point from the roof of the Agronomy Building at ISU and the visible satellite image from 3 PM. A large area of rain formed well ahead of the cold front limiting the daytime heating, but it dramatically moistened the lower atmosphere and with the help of strong and warm southerly winds underneath the cloud shield, temperatures and dew points rose in tandem (which is rather rare)! The severe weather threat increased as skies cleared in Southern Iowa ahead of the front during the late afternoon. This bumped surface air temperatures only a few degrees, but provided instability for thunderstorms to develop. The strongly sheered environment along the sharp cold front (notice very sharp drop in the trace) provided the ingredients necessary for a few brief tornados to form, including a tornado that flipped a few cars in Des Moines! What a day!

+----------------------------------------------
So much happened on Tuesday that it is filling two days worth of features! This webcam image was taken from the Saylorville Lake webcam on Tuesday morning, you can see clearing on both sides of the cloud that is moving to the east. This feature is showing the wave motion in the atmosphere with downward motion (trough) in the clear area and upward motion (crest) where the cloud is. The experts are still looking at the data from this event, but early indications are that it was a bore! You can view webcam lapses from Tama, Indianola, and Saylorville Lake.

I have updated MapServer on the IEM to version 5.0.0 just now
and hopefully have not broken a bunch of stuff :) MapServer is
the GIS mapping engine that drives a number of applications on
the IEM and it also drives all of the OGC web services the IEM
provides. If you see any troubles, please let me know.

| Date : 08 Oct 04:41 AM
| Votes : Good: 20 Bad: 4
+----------------------------------------------
It certainly feels like summer again with humidity galore back in the state. One would think the corn was growing again, but it certainly is not. This humidity is a result of transport of moisture into the state from our friends to the south. Dew points soared on Sunday into the 70s, which is nearly unprecidented in recorded Octobers since 1971 (except 3 days in 2005). Unofficially, the 73 reported at the Des Moines Airport is a modern day record high dew point for October! All of this moisture is translating into heavy rainfall with some locations expected to receive over 2 inches.

| Date : 09 Oct 06:31 AM
| Votes : Good: 16 Bad: 3
+----------------------------------------------
The featured map is of stage4 rainfall estimates from Sunday over portions of Northeastern Iowa. Delaware County is shown in the middle of the image with rainfall estimates over 3 inches for a good portion of the county. Locations within that area reported in excess of 5 inches thanks to very efficient rain producers training over the same area. The result is October flooding in cities such as Manchester. A 5 inch daily rainfall event is extremely rare for October, with the last known event reported on 11 October 1973.

This infrared satellite image was taken early Tuesday morning showing an interesting cloud formation over Minnesota :) This is associated with an upper level low that is helping to push very cool air into our area with highs on Wednesday only expected in the 50s! Temperatures are expected to return to the 60s by this weekend, which is about normal for this time of year.

The quality controlled COOP data from August has been uploaded
to the IEM data coffers. It is exciting to get this dataset in
house as August was the 3rd wettest month on record in Iowa! The
current statewide ranking is:
July 1993 10.50
June 1947 10.33
August 2007 9.78
So new records broken for the month total:

| Date : 11 Oct 07:24 AM
| Votes : Good: 15 Bad: 3
+----------------------------------------------
Our high temperature goes from the mid 80s to the mid 50s in a matter of 4 days! It must be weather in Iowa. On the other hand, low temperatures have yet to dip much below normal or to killing freeze levels. Climatologically, this is about the time of year for temperatures to first dip into the 20s, but the forecast has little indication that this will happen soon.

| Date : 12 Oct 07:40 AM
| Votes : Good: 15 Bad: 3
+----------------------------------------------
Our weather pattern is ready to become very active with numerous storm systems forecasted to bring heavy rain to Iowa this weekend and into Monday. The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center has much of Iowa forecasted to receive over 2 inches over the next 5 days. This will set the fall harvest back a week or more with fields too wet to run machinery on.

+----------------------------------------------
The Des Moines RADAR is estimating that a good portion of Southwest Iowa has received over 4 inches of rain from our recent stretch of rainy weather. As this system moves away from our area, another storm system is set for Wednesday with more heavy rain possible. This wet weather has set back the fall harvest progress with some fields now having standing water in them.

| Date : 16 Oct 12:00 AM
| Votes : Good: 24 Bad: 5
+----------------------------------------------
Greater than 4 inches of rainfall over a 24 hour period were reported yesterday in a number of locations in Southwest Iowa. According to IEM databases, this is the 8th day this year with 2 or more COOP sites reporting 4+ inches of rain! The featured chart shows 2007 having 2 more days of heavy rainfall events than any other year since 1951. This statistic was computed only considering sites with an observational record back to 1951. Unfortunately, the result of this graphic has been numerous flood events over nearly all parts of the state.

| Date : 17 Oct 07:03 AM
| Votes : Good: 17 Bad: 1
+----------------------------------------------
The featured map is of unvalidated soil moisture estimates from the Iowa Daily Erosion Project. The amount of water in the top 10 cm of soil is shown with most locations depicted in blue at saturation. This leaves little choice for rainwater to either runoff or pool up on the surface. With heavy rain on the way from a powerful plains storm system set to impact the region, most of the area show in blue is currently under a flash flood watch.

| Title : Bombogenesis
| Date : 18 Oct 08:37 AM
| Votes : Good: 12 Bad: 6
+----------------------------------------------
When you get old like me, your bones and joints become the best predictor of the weather. The development of powerful storm system yesterday and today has dropped our surface pressure by around 0.7 inches of mercury (~ 24 millibars) in just over 24 hours. This is close to the "bombogenesis" criteria (24 mb in 24 hrs), which is just a cool sounding term to describe another cool sounding term, rapid cyclogenesis.

| Title : Happens most every fall
| Date : 19 Oct 07:38 AM
| Votes : Good: 19 Bad: 7
+----------------------------------------------
A strong cold front pushed east over the Ohio River Valley sparking severe thunderstorms and many reports of tornados. This type of event happens most every fall as very powerful storm systems develop over the plains thanks to the renewed battle between warm and cold air. For Iowa, the low pressure system will pull far enough way to settle our weather down for the weekend until our next chance of rain on Sunday night.
