Quick Inch

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 05:40 AM

The most recent storm system on Monday brought large hail, damaging winds and some intense rainfall. The featured chart displays 30 minutes worth of one minute interval precipitation from the Cedar Rapids Airport. Just under an inch fell between 2:45 and 3 PM, which makes for an approximate four inches per hour rate! The storm system had a fast forward propagation rate, so rainfall totals did not get out of hand for this event.
