Our daily chances of seeing a reading this warm are about once out of every 3 years during July. High temperatures are expected to be in the upper 80s this week before our next rain chance moves in on Wednesday. > NWS Watch/Warning Summary *** Products issued on 30 Jun 2008 Summary +_________ By WFO ____________+ Watches Type US IA | ARX DVN DMX OAX FSD | US Tornado 1 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 Svr Tstorm 50 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 1 Fl Flood 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | N/A ARX = LaCrosse, WI DVN = Davenport, IA DMX = Des Moines, IA OAX = Omaha, NE FSD = Sioux Falls, SD From mesonet at mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Wed Jul 2 11:01:03 2008 From: mesonet at mesonet.agron.iastate.edu (Iowa Mesonet) Date: Wed Jul 2 11:01:07 2008 Subject: IEM Daily Bulletin Message-ID: <200807021601.m62G130L021223@mesonet.agron.iastate.edu> Iowa Environmental Mesonet Daily Bulletin Data valid for 01 July 2008 > News No news is good news > Yesterday's Daily Feature +---------------------------------------------- http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/onsite/features/cat.php?day=2008-07-01 | Title : A cold front in July? | Date : 01 Jul 10:29 AM | Votes : Good: 21 Bad: 8 +---------------------------------------------- While temperatures are not expected to be very cold on the backside of the next cold front forecasted to sweep the state on Wednesday, the front will be strong enough to help provoke some strong to severe thunderstorms. It is very strange to see all of these large fronts pass the state in June and now July.

Dolly is a strong category 1 strength hurricane that is expected to make landfall along the Texas coast today. NEXRAD composite imagery shows the well defined eye and a tornado watch is in effect for the right front quadrant, which is favored for tornado development during landfall. The primary impact looks to be extremely heavy rainfall as the system moves slowly west. Sometimes these systems will eventually work their way toward Iowa, but the steering currents in the atmosphere do not favour that path. > NWS Watch/Warning Summary *** Products issued on 23 Jul 2008 Summary +_________ By WFO ____________+ Watches Type US IA | ARX DVN DMX OAX FSD | US Tornado 19 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 3 Svr Tstorm 253 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 8 Fl Flood 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | N/A ARX = LaCrosse, WI DVN = Davenport, IA DMX = Des Moines, IA OAX = Omaha, NE FSD = Sioux Falls, SD From mesonet at mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Fri Jul 25 11:01:04 2008 From: mesonet at mesonet.agron.iastate.edu (Iowa Mesonet) Date: Fri Jul 25 11:01:08 2008 Subject: IEM Daily Bulletin Message-ID: <200807251601.m6PG14ZI028757@mesonet.agron.iastate.edu> Iowa Environmental Mesonet Daily Bulletin Data valid for 24 July 2008 > News No news is good news > Yesterday's Daily Feature +---------------------------------------------- http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/onsite/features/cat.php?day=2008-07-24 | Title : Active 2008 | Date : 24 Jul 07:00 AM | Votes : Good: 19 Bad: 8 +---------------------------------------------- The featured chart shows the number of tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings issued this year and last by the National Weather Service for the CONUS.
