Complex Pattern
Posted: 03 May 2021 08:23 PM
The past two days have seen much needed rain fall over parts of the state with isolated areas
receiving upwards of two inches, but some parts continue to miss out. The featured map presents
the number of days needed to accumulate an inch of precipitation. Areas in blue are the ones that
received significant rainfall over the past two days, while a big chunk of northern Iowa is in the 30 to
50 day range. The pattern is complex though with fine scale differences showing up within individual
counties. Such timely rainfall differences can sometimes lead to crop production differences on the
same scale. Fields that are already planted and got the recent rainfall are going to be much better
shape initially than those that did not.
