Yeah, the storms just kept reforming to our west so it would pour, stop, pour, stop. I think I had some weeds that grew a foot overnight lol

It was bizarre. You could look in about 3 different directions and see bright blue skys. But the rain just sat over Indianola for a good 2 hours and poured.
We were traveling back from the east and I was checking the weather a couple hours out from Des Moines to see what we might run into when we got closer. Saw that cell sitting over Indianola. Got to around Mitchellville and checked again and that darn thing was still sitting there. Really odd.

The good thing is they've been easy to pull since the ground is wet.
We had some ground water testing done at work this week, the water level beneath that monitoring well had risen nearly 15 feet from the previous check early this spring. NE Iowa.
I wish this was fall and they were talking football.
There absolutely is a feedback loop with dry weather/droughts and prolonged periods of rain/flooding.
It’s a cyclone state baby!!!!!
I apologize to my history teachers over the years. My dad brought to my attention this evening that the B-25 will be arriving in CR on the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Sunny with a high in the mid 70s, great day for a company outing to the Kernels.
Doesn't that mean we're more likely (58-60%) to have less than normal rainfall over that period? How does that improve the severe drought conditions?
Or am I illiterate?
There is some probability of having statistically normal rainfall as well. It appears from the graphic that is around 33%, so essentially you have a 74% probability of normal to above normal rainfall. As far as improving on severe drought, I would assume you could have some degree lesser than normal rainfall and still improve upon a severe drought, so that number is probably even a little higher.
The new time rules meant the game was over in less than two hours. How many I supposed to drink on the company dime with that crap?!?!?
