Nothing too extreme for Ames yet

Posted: 17 Aug 2011 05:58 AM

Portions of southwest Iowa picked up heavy amounts of rainfall yesterday morning with totals approaching four inches. For Ames, the largest daily rainfall has been 2.65 inches so far this year, which is about average for the largest total of the year. The featured chart presents the largest daily rainfall total each year and the day of the year on which that highest total occurred. The three highest totals all occurred in August. It is also interesting to have the largest totals for some year occur in late February!
