2020 Precip Departures
Posted: 14 Oct 2020 05:35 AM
The featured chart presents year to date accumulated precipitation departures for selected sites in
and near to Iowa. The chart shows the dry conditions getting started late April with further
deterioration starting in early July. The wet week of early September did not bust the drought for all
the sites shown with Omaha showing the largest negative departures to date. This year's growing
season is over, so one starts to be concerned that these negative departures will carry over into 2021
(if we even survive to make it till the next year). Recent year's droughts have been erased by very
wet fall/winter seasons, so we shall see if the same happens before the next growing season.
