Continuing on the series of features looking at where in Iowa extreme daily weather occurs, this image shows the frequency of a site having the heaviest precipitation for a given day. The plot can be misleading as the smallest percentages are in the middle and increase as one approaches the state border. This pattern shows how some storm systems will clip the state, so locations near the border will pick up the most precipitation while others will receive less. Interestingly, this storm system clipping appears to be the most common to the southeast, where Burlington will get the most.
