Weekend Rain

With the final showers moving out of extreme eastern Iowa this morning, I figured we could have an update on just how much rain fell over the past 36 hours across the state. Previous forecasts had mainly called for a moderate, but steady rain across the state, with a few isolated thunderstorms potentially mixing in during the afternoon on Saturday. This seems to have held true with a few areas seeing amounts heavier than a quarter of an inch; but a majority seeing less than a tenth through the weekend. Although not an entire event view, the automated gauges throughout the state captured this much rain through Midnight last night.





Look for cloudy skies with a few sprinkles through the afternoon hours today, temperatures in the 50s throughout the state. Tomorrow and the remainder of the week look great, with clear skies and warming temperatures. It appears as if the state may see its' warmest temperatures of the year by late this week if the forecasts stays on track! More details on the warming trend in the next update!
