Slow moving and very efficient storms were able to dump tremendous amounts of rain over portions of central Iowa. The featured map displays the combination of MRMS precipitation estimates and Local Storm Reports of precipitation relayed by the NWS. Two reports of 9+ inches of rain were received just to the northwest of Ames. All of this rain does not bode well for flooding in Ames, which is forecasted to occur today.
