Stripe of Heavy Rainfall

Posted: 08 Jun 2015 05:38 AM

Some much needed rainfall fell over Iowa on Sunday with a round of heavy showers in the morning and then again in the late afternoon. The featured map looks at one of the intense stripes of rainfall over just four counties in central Iowa. The colors are estimates from NOAA MRMS Q3 and the plotted values are 24 hour precipitation reports from the NWS COOP network. Your location in these four counties made a big difference to the amount of precipitation you received. Just over Webster County, you can see the reports ranged from 3 tenths to 2.3 inches!
