 +----------------------------------------------

The IEM server was unavailable between 7 and 10 PM last night 
(Sep 18) due to an incorrect automated network abuse detector
blocking access to the IEM.  Unfortunately, this outage occured
when many of you needed IEM services the most.  I sincerely 
appologize for this outage and will work with ISU admins to
prevent this from happening yet again.

At the end of the day, the IEM resides on a research grade 
internet connection and our services should not be used for
non research/educational purposes.

I will continue to move important services to off campus locations
to keep data flowing 24/7 .

 +----------------------------------------------

A very muggy air mass is in place this morning as we await an approaching cold front from the west.  Low temperatures this morning are near <a href="http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/GIS/apps/coop/index.php?area=all&plot=max_low&month=09&day=18">record maximum lows</a> for the date around 70 degrees.  The muggy weather looks to stick around this week as temperatures run 10-15 degrees above normal.
