Big Rain Event
Posted: 18 Apr 2013 05:48 AM
Rainfall was plentiful over much of the state on Wednesday as shown by
the featured map of NOAA NMQ precipitation estimates. These estimates
are primarily based off of RADAR information and show a large swath of
the state in the 3-6 inch total range for Wednesday. So we are rapidly
transitioning from a drought condition to flooding now with more
precipitation on the way along with snow for northern Iowa. Based on
some preliminary IEM estimates, yesterday's statewide averaged
precipitation was 1.93 inches, which would be the highest calendar day
total since 13 September 1961!
