The quality controlled observations from the Iowa COOP network for
February have been uploaded.  The climodat reports have been 
updated as well.

As a new feature to these announcements, I will include the number
of new records broken for the month and the previous 4 for quick
comparison.  Kind of neat to see how some months stand out from the
others.

 +----------------------------------------------

A strong high pressure system to our east slowed the eastward progression of the storm systems that brought very heavy rain over Western Iowa.  The featured image is an estimate of rainfall to date for May showing over 7 inches in places like Shenandoah and Council Bluffs, while Dubuque (in Eastern Iowa) has only seen a few drops.
