It was a beautiful rainfall on Monday that lasted into Tuesday morning for southwestern Iowa. Unlike many previous rainfalls that were focused over the northeastern half of the state, this event hit some of the most drought stricken areas of western Iowa. The featured map presents the combination of most recent US Drought Monitor and NOAA MRMS precipitation estimates for Monday. The area near Sioux City was the biggest winner this time with the airport there reporting just under two inches of rain. The rainfall rates were gentle with this event, so the vast majority of the rainfall likely infiltrated the ground.
