Awaiting August Thunder

Posted: 06 Aug 2020 04:46 AM

The featured chart presents the monthly climatology and 2020 total number for distinct days with METAR observations from the Des Moines Airport reporting thunder as a present weather condition. Our total for August 2020 remains at zero days and follows the below average total for July. Dry weather has dominated this period, so it makes sense to have fewer thunderstorms as well. A few chances of thunderstorms and associated rainfall is in the forecast, so there is at least some optimism rain will fall over Iowa during the coming days.
