Seven Inches in Seven Days

Posted: 31 Aug 2018 05:35 AM

The featured map presents a remarkable precipitation forecast from the Weather Prediction Center for the next seven days. This map also contains the most recent US Drought Monitor analysis. An incredible amount of rain is predicted to fall over this period with an analyzed bullseye over seven inches depicted over southwestern Iowa. Much of the state is shown in the four plus inch range. But sadly the heaviest totals are predicted to miss the driest areas of the state again. All of this rain is thanks to a weather pattern setup that favors daytime thunderstorms and overnight storm complexes focused into the state. This pattern looks to remain at least until the end of next week!
