Iowa Environmental Mesonet Daily Bulletin for 07 November 2009 > News No news is good news > Daily Feature +---------------------------------------------- http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/onsite/features/cat.php?day=2009-11-06 | Title : Woefully short | Date : 06 Nov 06:37 AM | Votes : Good: 21 Bad: 4 +---------------------------------------------- Outside of a warm week or two this growing season, there was not much heat to speak of and our growing degree total was some 400 units short of average. The record cold in July really hurt as it should be the month where we accumulate the most GDDs. A very wet October did not help the still standing crops any as mold is now a major problem with the corn and soybean crops. > NWS Watch/Warning Summary for 06 Nov 2009 Summary +_________ By WFO ____________+ Watches Type US IA | ARX DVN DMX OAX FSD | US Tornado 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 Svr Tstorm 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 Fl Flood 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 | N/A ARX = LaCrosse, WI DVN = Davenport, IA DMX = Des Moines, IA OAX = Omaha, NE FSD = Sioux Falls, SD > IEM Cow Report No Warnings Issued
