June Departures

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 05:44 AM

More rainfall fell on Iowa over the weekend with some of it falling in areas that have received too much rainfall already this month. The featured chart shows the June precipitation departures as reported by the National Weather Service. The largest values on the map appear in the Sioux City and Sioux Falls area with departures for the month over 10 inches! In Eastern Iowa, Cedar Rapids is shown 5.4 inches above average while just to the south Iowa City is only 0.9 inches above. Des Moines is the slightly negative number in the state. More rain is in the forecast this week, but after a few mostly dry days to start.
