I have updated MapServer on the IEM to version 5.0.0 just now
and hopefully have not broken a bunch of stuff :) MapServer is
the GIS mapping engine that drives a number of applications on
the IEM and it also drives all of the OGC web services the IEM
provides. If you see any troubles, please let me know.

+----------------------------------------------
It certainly feels like summer again with humidity galore back in the state. One would think the corn was growing again, but it certainly is not. This humidity is a result of transport of moisture into the state from our friends to the south. Dew points soared on Sunday into the 70s, which is nearly unprecidented in recorded Octobers since 1971 (except 3 days in 2005). Unofficially, the 73 reported at the Des Moines Airport is a modern day record high dew point for October! All of this moisture is translating into heavy rainfall with some locations expected to receive over 2 inches.
