Finally, a positive departure

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 05:37 AM

The featured chart presents monthly precipitation departures from average for Cedar Rapids since 2019 along with concurrent El Nino 3.4 index values. This past October's departure was the largest positive departure for the site since May 2019 and the first positive departure since January! While the recent rains have slowed down harvest progress, the rain has put a significant dent in the ongoing drought situation over the state. The forecast for this week looks dry and rather chilly with highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s.
