October 6 & 7 Rainfall Totals

Moderate to heavy rains fell throughout the evening and through the overnight hours across the state, and continued into this morning. Leading to rainfall totals for October 6th and 7th that were pretty impressive. The rain is fairly light now over the state, with the only reflectivities on radar coming across central Iowa, and another band over the far eastern portion of the state. Rainfall totals through the remainder of the afternoon should be under a tenth or two in central Iowa, and under a quarter inch in most of eastern Iowa. Through 1 PM, here are some of the rainfall totals from local airports:

Des Moines - 1.25"
Mason City - 1.15"
Ames - 1.07"
Estherville - 0.96"
Sioux City - 0.74"
Burlington - 0.64"
Spencer - 0.55"
Lamoni - 0.53"
Waterloo - 0.49"
Quad Cities - 0.24"
Ottumwa - 0.17"
Dubuque - 0.15"
Iowa City - 0.11"
