The featured map presents percent of average precipitation since 1 April based on NOAA MRMS estimates compared with a grid analysis of NCEI climatology for the period. Even with all the recent rainfall events, there are still pockets of the state that are considerably below average since 1 April. The area between Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, which was still analyzed as D3 level drought last week, could certainly use more rainfall to make up the short and long term deficits. Far southeastern and northwestern Iowa have seen some of the highest totals for the period. There are more chances of precipitation this week, so hopefully these deficits can be improved.
