| Title : COOP Currents Improvements
| Date : 31 Oct 09:29 PM
| Author: Daryl Herzmann
| URL : http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/COOP/current.phtml
+----------------------------------------------
The "sortable" COOP currents page has been improved by the
following:
- timestamps are hopefully displayed for the local time zone of the
site,
- annoying -99 values (missing) should no longer appear
- a option to view by NWS Forecast Office is available
Each day I spend a few minutes quality controlling the station
metadata and making sure that non-COOP type sites do not appear in the
listing. It is a never ending battle, so please report any issues you
see!

Days with rain have been hard to come by the past two months. The
featured chart presents the observed daily frequency of measurable rain
for the period prior to 1971 and for the period after. October is
shown has one of the months with an increased frequency of rainfall,
but this year has gone against that trend. Rain is in the forecast to
start off November.

+----------------------------------------------
The IEM provides a number of services based on the state winter road
condition reports by the Iowa State Patrol. These reports are based on
segments of major roads in the state. This year, 250 some new segments
were added to these reports and the IEM processing was updated to
support these. A big thanks to the Iowa DOT, Iowa State Patrol, and
the National Weather Service Des Moines for making this service
possible.

+----------------------------------------------
High temperatures today are expected to soar into the low 70s for much
of Iowa. The calendar does now say November, so one may expected the
staying power of such warm temperatures to be fleeting. The featured
chart presents the frequency of having a day above 70 followed by
another day over 70 by each day of the year. As shown by the chart,
the chances for early November are not good. Indeed, temperatures will
fall back into the 40s tomorrow as the warm up will be brief!

After high temperatures soared into the 70s on Tuesday, they will

set their daily high temperature at midnight this morning. The
featured chart looks at the frequency of having the warmest temperature
of the day occur during the midnight hour for Des Moines. For
November, these frequencies equate to roughly 4-5 days per year.

| Title : Chilling effects of rain and snow
| Date : 03 Nov 06:00 AM
| Votes : Good: 17 Bad: 1
+----------------------------------------------
Iowa got a preview of winter yesterday with some locations picking up
their first measurable snowfall of the season. This was thanks to a
process of cooling the air from having snow fall into warmer air near
the surface and cooling it from phase change into rain. The more
intense precipitation will lead to the strongest cooling rates and best
chances of snow in these situations. The featured chart presents a
comparison of average afternoon temperature against a composite of
RADAR reflectivity. In general, the coolest temperatures are
associated with the higher rates of precipitation.

| Title : Tin Foil Hat Time
| Date : 04 Nov 05:51 AM
| Votes : Good: 21 Bad: 1
+----------------------------------------------
The sham that is daylight saving time ends this weekend and so to
encourage those who wear tin foil hats, the featured chart is
presented comparing two periods of the day computed in CST and CDT.
For the work day, the difference is computed between the 8 hour
average temperature computed over the 8 AM to 4 PM period based in CST
and CDT year-round. The "CDT effect" is for a slightly cooler 8 hour
work day as compared to the same period if it was CST all summer.
This effect remains the same in the winter time, but lo and behold our
clocks go back to CST to reverse the effect. From an energy
perspective, the result is potentially favorable for businesses to
save a bit on cooling in the summertime and heating in the winter
time. It is a conspiracy! Of course, when we are at home, the effect
is reversed, so we have slightly warmer sleeping periods in the summer
with CDT and cooler sleeping periods in the winter with CST. Your
head is probably spinning trying to follow the logic presented, but
think how CDT shifts the work day into earlier in the day to leave
more light at night and time for lawyers to golf after work (net
cooler, less cooling bill). In the winter, the shift is for more
light in the morning (so that kids have light to go to school,
whatever) which puts more of the work day into hours with sunlight
(net warmer, less heating bill). Enjoy the extra hour of sleep :)

Having clear skies after a new snowfall always makes for pretty
pictures from space like the one featured today. The new snow cover
also makes for interesting local weather effects as can be seen by
afternoon high temperatures on Thursday. The snow reflects much of the
sun's energy back out into space which keeps air temperatures cooler
than neighboring snow free areas. This snow patch should continue to
decrease in size with more above freezing temperatures expected.

Outside of a very warm day for the first day this month, temperatures
have been to stay above average. High temperatures this past weekend
warmed nicely into the 50s, but cooler weather back in the 40s is
expected for most of this coming week. Highs in the 40s are about
average for this time of year, so it could certainly be much worse!

The past few days have seen bouts of severe weather over various parts
of the country. The Storm Prediction Center issues tornado and severe
thunderstorm watches in advance of these storms. The featured chart
presents the year to date totals of watches issued for Iowa and Texas
since 1997. Last year was the only year Iowa has beaten Texas in total
watches. The bottom chart shows the percentage of total watches issued
that covered a portion of Iowa. This year's percentage is the second
lowest behind 1997.

Thursday morning saw our coldest temperatures of the season with lows
approaching zero degrees in far northwest Iowa. The featured chart
presents the average first date of occurrence for a given temperature
for four sites in Iowa. It is interesting to see how much closer Ames
is to Sioux City than Des Moines. Davenport's climatology is about two
weeks later than Ames, so for example Ames hits its first sub freezing
around mid October and Davenport is toward the end of October.

After two very windy days on Friday and Saturday, Sunday was a bit
calmer as shown by the featured chart of daily average and peak wind
speeds from the Des Moines Airport sensor. November has yet to see a
day with wind speeds below 10 mph for the entire day. This is not
uncommon as November is a battle ground month for air masses, which

| Title : Feb COOP Data Uploaded
| Date : 22 Nov 11:43 AM
| Author: Daryl Herzmann

+----------------------------------------------
The quality controlled Iowa COOP data for February 2011 has been
uploaded to the IEM. These observations are kindly provided by Harry
Hillaker, our state climatologist, who passes along these notes on the
month:
February 2011 temperatures averaged 22.0 degrees or 2.0 degrees below
normal
while precipitation totaled 1.48 inches or 0.43 inch above normal.
This
ranks as the 65th coolest and 28th wettest February among 138 years of
records. Snowfall averaged 11.1 inches or 4.3 inches above normal to
rank
as the 19th snowiest February among 124 years of records. The big
weather
story of the month was the blizzard on February 1. Storm totals of
more
than a foot were the rule over southeast Iowa where official totals
reached
18.0 inches at Fort Madison and 18.5 inches at Lowden. Wind gusts
over 50
mph were also common with this storm with Clinton Airport reporting a
gust
to 66 mph. The impact of the storm was particularly great as the
most
intense snowfall arrived at the same time as the highest winds. This
storm
accounted for a statewide average snowfall of 7.6 inches.
The 2010-2011 winter statistics (Dec-Jan-Feb) saw temperatures
averaging
18.5 degrees or 3.6 degrees below normal while precipitation totaled
3.71
inches or 0.37 inches more than normal. This ranks as the 30th
coolest and
45th wettest winter among 138 years of records. This was the fourth
consecutive colder than normal winter and fifth in a row with greater
than
usual precipitation.
The following is the number of new daily records set at COOP sites
based on data back to 1951.
2011_____________________2010 _____________

You may have remembered it like yesterday, but back on the 7th of July
the three cities of Burlington, IA , Miami, FL, and Fairbanks, AK had a
high temperature within two degrees of each other around 80 degrees.
Fast forward a bit more than 4 months and a much different tale is to
be told. While Fairbanks struggled to breach -30 degrees, Miami
enjoyed a warm 85 and Burlington was stuck somewhere the middle around
40 degrees. This graph makes the directional choice for Iowans going
on vacation in the winter easy.

| Title : Windy Days
| Date : 28 Nov 05:49 AM
| Votes : Good: 14 Bad: 2
+----------------------------------------------
Since setting record high temperatures on Thanksgiving, our weather has
been on the windy side with wind gusts measured above 30 mph each day
since somewhere in the state. The featured chart presents the
climatology of having one or more hours of wind observations at or
above 30 mph for each day of the year. The annual signal is clear with
these events more limited in the summer and peaking during the
transition seasons of spring and fall. There are some localized peaks
due to peaks in thunderstorms and strong winter storms.

| Title : Some still waiting for first snowfall
| Date : 29 Nov 07:43 AM
| Votes : Good: 16 Bad: 2
+----------------------------------------------
Snow was reported yesterday over locations well to our southeast in
Tennessee and Alabama. Not all in Iowa have yet to see their first
snowfall of the year! The featured chart presents the NWS Cooperative
Observer reports of 1+ inches of snowfall so far this year. Just a
swipe of snow from the 9 November storm is about all Iowa has to show
this year. There are chances of snow in the forecast for this coming
weekend.
