| Title : Loaded with water

+----------------------------------------------
The featured map is data taken from the <a href="http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/">North American Mesoscale</a> model analysis for 7 PM last night. The contoured value is precipitable water shown in inches. Precipitable water is simply a sumation of cloud water, ice, and water vapor thru the depth a column of air. Values last night were approaching 3 inches, which is well above climatology and is about the largest value we will see in Iowa. All of this water is then available for thunderstorms to become efficient rainers and some areas of the state found that out last night with locally heavy rains. Storm chances will continue today and Wednesday with the atmosphere above our heads still loaded with moisture.
