The atmosphere was loaded with water vapor on Sunday and slow moving thunderstorms were able to efficiently produce significant amounts of rain over Iowa. The featured map presents the combination of NOAA MRMS estimates and the most recent US Drought Monitor. With Iowa book-ended by areas of drought, it is interesting to see the largest rainfall amounts falling between those two areas. Northwest Iowa was rather unlucky again with most missing out on significant rainfall totals. There are more chances of rain in the forecast this week, so hopefully the area can receive more substantial amounts.
