Ames Rainfall Gradient

Posted: 22 May 2014 05:38 AM

Last fall, the IEM gave a presentation on the tedium involved with answering the question of how much did it rain in Ames? With life imitating art, the storm on Tuesday evening produced an amazing rainfall gradient over Ames with CoCoRaHS reports in nothern Ames below two inches and the Airport reporting 3.03! A bunch of hail fell with the storms as well. The airport sensor reported 1.6 inches in just 20 minutes!

Voting:
Good = 23
Bad = 3
