Remarkable Snowfall Gradient
Posted: 20 Mar 2018 05:32 AM
This past weekend's storm left a remarkable gradient of snowfall over central Iowa. The
featured map combines MRMS RADAR based precipitation estimates (these would be
liquid totals) and NWS received Local Storm Reports (snow fall in inches). The gradient
displayed goes from under a half inch over southern Des Moines to 8 inches at Huxley and
then an inch or two for Ames. The RADAR estimates nicely coincide with these reports
with the bulls-eye over Huxley. All of this snowfall is already gone as temperatures warmed
very nicely on Monday.
