Much needed rainfall

Posted: 16 Aug 2017 05:24 AM

Rainfall visited the state again on Tuesday with some significant totals over western Iowa this time. The featured chart looks at classifying where this rain fell in relation to previous 31 day departures from average. The blue bars represent the areal percentage of the state with the given 31 day departure and the orange bars provide the percentage of the state that picked up at least 0.1 inches for that departure based on NOAA MRMS estimates. The plot shows that about 90% of the state was running below average prior to yesterday's rainfall and that area received a majority of the rainfall.
