A fire started at a grocery store in Ogden sometime between 8-and 9-p.m., Saturday, grew to be so large and hot, that it became visible on a Weather Service satellite. According to reports, flames at the “Ogden Mart” on W. Walnut Street, shot 50-feet into the air. At least one wall of the building had collapsed overnight. Crews were still battling the blaze early this (Sunday) morning. There was no one in the building, and no injuries have been reported.

The Ogden Iowa grocery story fire during the evening of Saturday November 2 was hot enough to display on GOES-16 satellite imagery. This image was from 9:36pm CDT. The brighter, more yellowy colors depict the satellite sensing warmer temperature

The National Weather Service reports the fire was hot enough to display on GOES-16 satellite imagery. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 16 has 16 different channels to sample all sorts of different atmospheric phenomena.

Temps below average, precipitation above in October

News, Weather

November 1st, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — Trick-or-Treaters had to thaw out their mini candy bars when they got home for the evening Thursday. State Climatologist Justin Glisan (like listen) says the cold and snowy spook night summed up the story on October. “It was a cold and wet month across the state,” Glisan says. Weather data for the month of October, compiled at the KJAN Studios (the Official National Weather Service reporting site), show the Average High for the month of 58.2-degrees, was almost 6-degrees below normal. The Average Low was 33.8, which was slightly more than 5 degrees below normal. Rainfall and melted snow for the month amounted to 4.73-inches, which was nearly 2-inches above average.

Glisan says there were very few days where you could go without a jacket for the month. “If you look at the average temperature — we were bout 46-point-six degrees — and that’s almost five degrees below normal. And that’s colder than we would expect in October,” according to Glisan. The cold temperatures came with plenty of rain and snow. “We were about four-point-nine-three inches — which is two-point-three-two inches above average — so very wet,” Glisan says. “The wettest areas of the state seemed to be in a southwest to northeast stretch in central Iowa, anywhere from four to five inches above average in some spots.”

One area of the state got most of its precipitation in the frozen form. “The southeastern part of the state actually was below average in rainfall — but you look at the snowfall maps and they were actually above average in snowfall,” Glisan says. “So anywhere from four to six inches in the eastern part of the state…they got their share of snow for October.”  Glisan says the cold patter is expected to continue through mid-November.
