Moved In & More Thunderstorms!

Thursday & most of Friday was spent down in Ames putting away and putting together things for my room for the beginning of the school year once again. Luckily no major problems and everything went fairly smooth, the room is pretty much all furnished and organized, just putting up posters and getting clothes put away are the only jobs remaining. I’m back this weekend for a wedding, but will be going back down tomorrow sometime to finish up the room and then to have school begin once again! For those of you who don’t know and haven’t read the ‘ISU’ page on my website, this will be my second year down at Iowa State, majoring in Meteorology.

As for the weather, the past couple of days have been quite dreary. With fog/mist remaining over the area much of the day keeping temperature in the 70s and also having lows into the 50s made for a near chilly couple of days. This should change already starting today, as temperature rebound back up to the upper 70s in some areas with clearing as well. Throughout the week temperature should rise back into the lower to mid 80s throughout the state, until the return of thunderstorm chances already on Tuesday with one system. Then another system on Thursday as well looks to bring thunderstorm chances in, although Tuesday through Friday could have parts of the state experiencing rain at some moments. These thunderstorms do look like they may have a severe threat with them, as they will be brought on by what the SPC is wording ’strong shortwaves’ moving across the area, could produce several episodes of severe weather. So something to watch for during the next week, otherwise a very nice August week in store.
