Good riddance to June

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 05:41 AM

The calendar has mercifully turned to July today and the epic rainfalls that occurred in June are hopefully in the past. The last day of June saw yet another significant storm complex dump large amounts of rainfall over the state. The featured map is a preliminary attempt to analyze how much rain fell over the state for the month. The highest totals were over northwestern Iowa with values over twelve inches. Of course, this map is smoothed and isolated areas likely picked up more than the totals displayed. The good news is that drier weather is in the forecast for this week and much cooler conditions as well.

Voting:
Good = 20
Bad = 5
Abstain = 5
