 | Date  : 15 Oct 07:24 AM
 | Votes : Good: 19   Bad: 1
 +----------------------------------------------

The Des Moines RADAR is estimating that a good portion of Southwest Iowa has received over 4 inches of rain from our recent stretch of rainy weather. As this system moves away from our area, another storm system is set for Wednesday with more heavy rain possible.  This wet weather has set back the fall harvest progress with some fields now having standing water in them.
