Some D3 Rainfall

Posted: 30 Jul 2012 04:03 AM

The past seven days have seen the return of much needed rainfall in the state. The featured map presents an estimate of rainfall over the past seven days along with last week's national drought monitor. The entire state is in D2 "severe" condition with some locations in eastern Iowa in D3 "extreme" condition. While extreme eastern Iowa did miss out on most of the rain, some portions in the D3 analysis got 1-3 inches. Unfortunately, the forecast for this week is once again dry with the best chances of rain over northwestern Iowa.
