11 inches in 6 days

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 05:57 AM

The drought situation over northern Iowa has been mostly eliminated this week thanks to estimated rainfall totals over 11 inches in limited areas as shown by the featured map. These estimates are provided by the NOAA MRMS Q3 project, which uses high resolution RADAR information and other data to derive values. Most of the northern Iowa is analyzed over five inches, which is about the expected total for all of June. The forecast has more chances of rain, but at this point the heaviest totals are expected over southern Iowa.
