This Day in Iowa Weather History: In 1900, a resident of Creston was struck by lightning twice during the same storm and survived, though he was partially paralyzed, singed, and blackened by the strikes. 7-Day Weather Forecast: The coming weekend looks pleasant, but thunderstorms are expected to return Sunday night into Monday, with a potential severe weather outbreak (all modes possible, including strong tornadoes) on Monday. Afterward, the storm track quiets down, but temperatures remain above average. Climate Outlook: The 6–10 and 8–14 day forecasts show a warm signal for most of Iowa, especially the west, with near-normal to slightly below-normal precipitation in the north. The 3–4 week outlook (early to mid-May) is more uncertain but hints at equal chances for temperature and a slightly wetter trend. Recent Weather Events: Last week saw 19 tornado reports in southwest Iowa, large hail (up to 4 inches), and straight-line wind damage. Higher dew points in the southwest contributed to more instability and severe weather. Data gaps from missing weather balloon soundings affected forecast accuracy. Precipitation: Eastern Iowa received 2–4 inches of rain, improving drought conditions. Central Iowa saw around 0.6 inches; some western locations reported up to 2 inches. Specialty Crop Impacts: Discussion focused on potting media trials for seedling production. Vermont Compost Fort Light had high nutrients but poor germination uniformity; Pro-Mix had good germination but less vigor. Growers might start seeds in low-salt media and pot up to nutrient-rich mixes.  Grower Tips: For early melon planting, some risk of frost is accepted for the chance at early harvest and higher profits. Strawberry growers should watch for blossom pests.   Podcast summary generated using Perplexity.ai

Warner Park, home to the Madison Mallards and the newly established Madison Night Mares, has undergone a significant transformation, ensuring an enhanced experience for players and fans alike. Under the meticulous care of the Director of Operations, Will Kenne, the park's new artificial turf and innovative field management practices are set to improve local baseball and softball events. Raised in Central Iowa, Kenne began his journey in field management as a high school student prepping baseball and softball fields. “I started with a summer job, working hard on a complex of eight different fields,” he recalls. This initial exposure sparked a passion that led him to pursue further opportunities in the field. His educational journey took him to the University of Iowa, where he managed the baseball team and honed his turf maintenance skills. “Maintaining turf at Iowa, especially given the challenges of early spring games, was a learning curve. It's different from grass and dirt but equally demanding,” he explains. The decision to transition to artificial turf at Warner Park was driven by practicality and versatility. “The main reason was to accommodate our new softball team and to allow flexibility for different age groups and event types,” he states. “The artificial turf enables quick adjustments of base paths and the use of a portable youth mound and outfield fence, enhancing the park's adaptability.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
