Drought and Flooding

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 05:58 AM

The featured map presents an estimate of rainfall over the past two months and the current national drought monitor analysis (lines). Southwest Iowa has seen its share of heavy rainfall in the past few weeks and they are currently dealing with flooding. On the other end of the state, southeastern Iowa has been rather dry and the far corner is shown in "D1" (moderate drought) status. Heavy rainfall is falling this morning over north-central Iowa with the heaviest totals over a few inches.
