Big Rainfall Event

Posted: 25 Jun 2015 05:34 AM

Numerous rounds of heavy rainfall producing thunderstorms have left some gaudy totals over central Iowa. The featured map displays estimated 48 hour rainfall totals from the NOAA MRMS project. A few reports have already trickled in this morning of between six and seven inches within just the past 24 hours. Flooding and Flash Flooding is definitely a concern as these heavy rainfall patterns are oriented in a NW to SE line, which matches the orientation of most river basins in the state.
