Recent IEM daily features have lamented the disparity between Des Moines precipitation and that of the rest of the state this month. The storms on Thursday attempted to make up that difference, but left a complex rainfall pattern over the Des Moines metro area. The featured map of MRMS estimates shows a range from a quarter inch over the airport to 4-6 inches over the northwestern suburbs. These totals were valid at 8 PM Thursday evening with more rain on the way.
