Period between Two Tenths
Posted: 19 Dec 2017 05:34 AM
Yesterday's IEM Daily Feature denoted the long period it has been since the Des Moines
airport last reported two tenths of an inch of precipitation. The featured chart today looks at
the longest stretches between daily precipitation totals of that amount for the site. The
current stretch of days stands at 30, which is well below the longest streak on record for mid
December and much longer streaks exist the deeper into winter you go. The chart also
depicts the longest stretches of having no measurable precipitation and the largest single
day accumulations.
