Morning rainfall on 9 Jul 2004.
A Mesoscale Convective System (MCS as we nerdy meteorologists like to call it) developed last night in high plains and steamrolled east overnight to arrive in Iowa this morning. This system puts a huge complication on the forecast for today, but everyone likes a challenge. Look on the bright side, at least it is not snowing.
