Top July Rainfalls
20 Jul 2016 05:39 AMComplaints that central Iowa was missing out on rainfall events earlier this year have been resolved in full this week with multiple rounds of heavy rainfall impacting the area. The Des Moines Airport reported over 3.5 inches of rain on Tuesday making for one of the largest daily totals on record for July as shown by the featured chart. Ironically, yesterday's total was not even a daily record as the 19 July total for 1904 appears second on the listing for July.

July Precip
12 Jul 2016 05:08 AMAnother overnight storm complex brought rainfall to the state this morning. The featured map displays precipitation estimates up till 12 AM this morning for July and shows that many parts of the state are analyzed in the 2+ inch range. Previous IEM features highlighted a very dry area just to the northwest of Ames and this area has done well so far this month. Most of these totals shown simply amount to average accumulation for the period, so it will take more rain to make up the deficits accumulated earlier this summer of much of the state.
