Comparing Sioux City's Record

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 07:27 AM

The most recent storm system pushed Sioux City's precipitation total to 41.14 inches, which is a record for one year at the site. The featured map compares how this total would rank at other sites in the state. The number plotted is the number of years with a higher precipitation total than 41.14 inches for the site. Sioux City is in the driest corner of the state, so it makes sense that it's record would not even rank in the top ten wettest years for other parts of Iowa.
