2.75" at my house in Indianola yesterday. We made it through 10 holes at the golf course before it was clearly about to hit. Hightailed it to the cart barn, and sat in there for 45 minutes or so while it absolutely poured. Went back out and managed to finish, but got soaked from a combination of light and moderate rain for the last 8 holes.

Spring Valley Golf Course got 2” of rain this afternoon. I live 4 miles north, I got a. 1” if you add both sprinkles together. Oh well maybe tomorrow.

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.

Piss creek dry up down there?

Another 0.1 in Marion this afternoon.

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.

Another 0.1 in Marion this afternoon.

Was back last weekend and mowed for my dad. The lawn was already burned pretty good so some rain was actually needed.

North Ames around the Northridge area got a lot of pea size hail. We just had enough rain on 24th St to get the pavement wet.

Stupid neighbor kid was taking their dog for a walk. It never barks, until today. It knew something was up because we saw a huge flash of lightning and followed by a loud crack of thunder.

.25 so far in June, 1 inch since end of April. Severe weather warning for area, must be talking Sunstroke!

Can't believe how many storms I watched form on top of me, only to head west and drop rain. CR is cursed so far this summer.

Another 0.1 in Marion this afternoon.

That's more than I got on the NE side.

Is this angry looking blob going to make its way east?

And the answer was….NO! Sucks!

West Ames .4 inch after pouring rain, occasional sharp lighting and occasional thunder. Plus gutters full of tree seeds. Ugh.

 

[cmjh10]

What’s this rain you all speak of?

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.

We had heavy rain in FD again tonight. I don't know how much but it was really coming down.

 

[Bestaluckcy]

I remember the agony last year of hearing places receive rain, while it typically missed where I live. This year our fortunes appear to have improved. Hoping all of you folks that are parched, can get some rain soon.

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.

That looks angry.

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.

This should be changing next week?
