My part of central Iowa is finally out of the Extreme Drought conditions stage... we're now back to Moderate after a couple days of off and on again rain storms.
I hear tell that La Nina will be making a return come June... we shall see.
There are some interesting weather threads on the main in case you missed them.

Night storms.
Bad, bad deal.
WUnderground timeline has it ramping up from 3-6PM here and going til midnight.
Their 10 day forecast is usually fairly accurate for us.
Peeps to the NE will be dealing with it after midnight.

Soooo what happened to spring?!? 
We're coming to the end of our current weekend storm here in the SoCal mountains. Got about a foot of snow from this one at our 5,600 ft level. Very wet heavy slop. Might get another inch or so today, but that should be it for now. Another storm expected next weekend but will probably (hopefully) be only rain.
Just started our indoor seeds for early spring planting....if it ever really arrives. Dang things actually started sprouting within TWO DAYS!!
I guess they are in a hurry to get going too.

We're hoping to be able to avoid the severe spring storms this year. April is our peak tornado month. NE MS.
They have stretched out the "Enhanced" area from yesterday. Post 5
Hail outlook.
Pretty good indicator of bad storms. I'm about to start shuffling equipment to get everything under cover later.

They've pushed arrival here to 6PM with a straight up on the rain graph, fairly short duration, .76" rain.
It will hit hard and fast and blow thru quick.
Just my uneducated interpretation,
We've got that pre-storm feeling in the air.
76F, 126.39% humidity, heavy overcast.
No green sky or anything like that yet, but I can see it as a maybe.
The gaggle of storm chasers are not doing much, yet.

Day2 Outlook - Big upgrade to MODERATE RISK. 15% tornado risk.
Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0100 PM CDT Mon Apr 01 2024
Valid 021200Z - 031200Z
...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS A LARGE
PORTION OF OHIO...AND INCLUDING ADJACENT PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN
INDIANA...NORTHERN KENTUCKY...AND WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA...
...SUMMARY...
A potentially substantial severe weather outbreak -- possibly
including a few significant/long-track tornadoes -- is evident for
Tuesday afternoon and evening, with highest probability centered
over the Ohio vicinity, and extending southward across the Tennessee
Valley. Some severe risk exists as far south as the Gulf Coast, and
as far east as western portions of Virginia and the Carolinas.
...Synopsis...
While a positively tilted upper trough moves across the central
third of the country Tuesday, a more compact/energetic short-wave
feature is expected to dig aggressively/quickly southeastward across
the Upper Midwest, gradually evolving into a closed low as it does.
By Wednesday morning, the deepening low is progged to reside over
the Illinois vicinity.
At the surface, a low initially over the Missouri vicinity is
progged to deepen as the upper system digs southeastward, shifting
northeastward across the Midwest through the day, and then occluding
northward into Lower Michigan overnight. A cold front associated
with the low will sweep across the Mid Mississippi and Lower Ohio
Valley through the day, and the Lower Mississippi/Tennessee/Upper
Ohio Valleys overnight, crossing central/southern Appalachian Crest
late. Meanwhile, a warm sector should expand as far north and east
as central and northeast Indiana/northern Ohio/western Pennsylvania,
though limited in northward progress to West Virginia/northern
Virginia/Maryland by persistent/slow-to-retreat cold-air damming
over the Northeast.
...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys...
Widespread thunderstorms -- including some degree of all-hazards
severe risk -- will likely be spreading rapidly eastward across the
Ohio Valley area at the start of the period. This convection should
reach the central Appalachians by late morning/midday, but -- though
potentially having some impact on destabilization potential across
the MDT and ENH risk areas -- should largely shift far enough east
to allow warm-sector destabilization to commence.
As the surface low deepens and crosses Illinois and eventually moves
into Indiana, and the cold front advances across the Mid Mississippi
and Lower Ohio Valleys, storm redevelopment is expected to occur
during the afternoon. While evolution/storm mode remains somewhat
difficult to discern -- in part due to earlier storms -- some mix of
cellular and cluster/linear mode is expected to evolve. Given the
ample destabilization expected in combination with very
strong/veering deep-layer flow, all-hazards severe potential is
evident, including very large hail, strong/damaging winds, and
several significant tornadoes.
The greatest risk, which will include potential for a couple of
intense/long-track tornadoes, should begin across Indiana, and the
spread across Ohio through the afternoon and evening, potentially
reaching as far east as western portions of West Virginia and far
western Pennsylvania into the evening. Eastward advance of the risk
into central Pennsylvania will likely remain limited, but otherwise
threat may spread into western portions of Virginia and the
Carolinas late.
...Florida/Georgia/southeastern Alabama and perhaps into the western
Carolinas...
Thunderstorm development is expected to increase late in the period
from the Florida Panhandle northeastward, ahead of the advancing
cold front. With indications of potentially cellular mode with this
convection, concerns for a very late-period increase in tornado
potential exist, given background shear profiles supportive of
updraft rotation. While somewhat uncertain at this point, have
expanded 5% tornado probability substantially eastward/southeastward
to include this potential.

Supposed to hit North central Arkansas at 10 tonight. All day it has felt like it was going to do something any minute. Have caught myself constantly looking out the front window. No idea what I am expecting to see.

It was a fizzle for us.
One more band headed this way and no pretty colors in in.
Tomorrow may be a different story up nawth.

Nothing Burger for us. No rain no nuthin'. Now they are talking rain on eclipse day.
I'm thinking it's just a wee bit chilly for things to really spin up into nasty storms.
Hopefully
The SPC has to play a more conservative hand for warnings.
The chasers are in the loop and have good insight. They spend their own money to go out and maybe get some footage that will sell.
If they aren't stacking up, then it's an indication that chances aren't as great as the SPC is saying.

Our high today is supposed to be 80, but after the storm system passes, our high tomorrow is only 61 with frost for two nights.
Two nights in a row very heavy rain, big gully washers and many of them not just all at once when it comes no is sleeping it's coming down that hard.
Yesterday I needed to go into town to buy supplies to make dinner and I live in a mountainous area and seeing piles of leaves, soil and gravel washed out into the road it's going to take a little cleanup by road crews. After last night just wow and the weather service is showing more rain on the way.
