The CoCoRaHS effort in Iowa has been moving right along with 
nearly 300 observers now signed up!  Our initial goal was to have
1 observer per county and we are currently 25 counties short of this
goal. So if you know of any weather enthusiasts in these counties,
please tell them about this project:

Sioux   O'Brien    Winnebago  Worth        Mitchell
Howard  Allamakee   Floyd      Pocahontas   Buena Vista
Ida     Calhoun     Tama       Cedar        Iowa
Shelby  Montgomery  Clarke     Monroe       Louisa
Fremont Page        Taylor     Davis        Des Moines

 | Title : Too much rain in one month
 | Date  : 27 Aug 06:45 AM
 | Votes : Good: 15   Bad: 3
 +----------------------------------------------

Of course, the main story for August is the extreme amounts of rainfall that has fallen over the upper midwest.  Some isolated parts of Iowa have received over 15 inches!  Unfortunately, more rain is in the forecast for the first few days this week until we clear things out for the weekend.
