The featured map is of forecasted seven day total precipitation from the NWS Weather Prediction Center. It depicts a bullseye of heavy precipitation for much of eastern Iowa. This is the time of year for heavy rainfall events in the state and presents a catch 22 for farmers. While much of this region has been on the dry side of average this cold season and could use the rain, wet conditions create delays for planting. Showers and thunderstorms overnight have gotten Iowa off to a good start to meet these forecasted values over the next seven days.
