Summer of Flooding
Posted: 01 Oct 2018 05:34 AM
Heavy rainfall and flooding have been quite common over much of Iowa this summer
season. As an illustration, the featured map depicts the percentage of time between 1 May
and 30 September that the given NWS Forecast Office had at least one Flood Warning
(VTEC: FL.W) active. For four out of the five forecast offices serving Iowa, the percentages
shown are above 50% over the past five months. Sadly, the very wet and flooding
conditions look to continue for at least the first week of October and perhaps longer.
