Another Wet April

Posted: 02 May 2014 05:38 AM

This April continued the recent trend of having Aprils with above average precipitation. The featured chart shows the monthly precipitation departures for the past 22 years for Ames. Each colored cell represents a past month and year. The highlighted cells illustrate our recent history being having a wet April and a dry summer. The forecast for the first week of May looks mostly dry with better chances of rain arriving next week. At least it is not snowing like it was this time last year!
