Over a month for an inch

Posted: 15 Aug 2017 05:34 AM

Rain again frequented the state on Monday, but mostly missed the driest portions of the state over south central Iowa. Based on NOAA MRMS data, the featured map displays the number of days you have to go back prior to accumulating an inch of precipitation. South central Iowa really sticks out for this analysis with the yellows and blacks representing 35+ and 42+ days respectively. Rain continues to be in the forecast, but it again appears that the driest areas of the state may miss out.
