Noisy Nights
Posted: 20 Sep 2010 05:55 AM
Numerous rounds of thunderstorms dumped hail and heavy rainfall on
primarily southern Iowa this past weekend. The featured chart
presents a summary of the number of automated weather station reports
of thunderstorms from the Des Moines airport sensor. The 2010 total
surpasses each of the previous years since 1993. The bottom sub chart
shows the hourly normalized frequency. This year has seen relatively
more thunderstorms during the night time hours than previous years.
This has made for a number of nights of difficult sleeping weather.
More thunderstorms are in the forecast for this week.
