The featured chart presents an IEM computation of the maximum two calendar day precipitation total for Iowa. The two day total from last week's storm came in at just over 2.5 inches, ranking it third all-time behind 1961 and 1946. While this event has produced flooding, it has also put a huge dent into the drought situation in the state. More rain and even some snow for northwestern Iowa is in the forecast for today.
