Since the last half inch

Posted: 18 May 2012 05:52 AM

Our mostly dry stretch of May weather looks to continue into the next week with only slight chances of showers on Sunday. It has been a while since we have seen a daily rainfall over half of an inch as shown by the featured chart. Portions of east-central Iowa have gone over a month without such a rainfall based on estimated rainfall totals. While the dry weather has been beneficial to help get the crops planted, we certainly could use some rain to help the plants get off to a good start.
