Upcoming Wet Three Days
Posted: 05 Oct 2017 05:33 AM
The featured map displays Weather Prediction Center forecast 72 hour precipitation totals
between 7 PM last night and 7 PM Saturday evening. Most of southwestern Iowa is shown
in the 3 to 4.5 inch range with most of Iowa even above two inches. This may be the most
widespread and largest rainfall event in the state so far this year. Of course, a bit of
pessimism rules after recent rain events have managed to not fully cover the drought
stricken areas over southern Iowa. This event will likely set back the fall corn and soybean
harvest progress as it would take a bit of time for fields to dry out from this much rain.
