Friday's rainfall was a very welcome relief to some areas of the state that have been on the dry side this year. It also came at a perfect time for the pollinating corn crop in the state. The featured chart looks at how proportional the rainfall was over areas that needed it the most. Indeed, the heaviest amounts fell more proportionally over the areas with the deficits. The top chart shows the portion of the area with a deficit that got over an inch of rain. So over half of the area with a 3 inch deficit since March got over an inch of rain! The bottom chart is simply the average rain over the area with a given deficit.
