April Precip Departures

The featured map presents an IEM computed difference between NOAA MRMS precipitation estimates and simple grid analysis of NCEI precipitation climatology over the 1-18 April period. There is plenty of variability to be found over Iowa with far northwestern and parts of southeastern Iowa well above average, but much of southwestern Iowa is well below. Our near term forecast features cooler and even some freezing temperatures before rain chances return next week. Amounts do not look all that impressive at this time, so the driest areas of the state continue to wait for much needed rainfall.
