Friday looks downright chilly with passing showers and temps barely in the 50s. Thickness values actually dip below 540 during the day. Far cry from yesterday's 88.
Have had steady heavy drizzle most of the day and has added an additional 0.11" so far. Feels like a west coast forest outside today. All that's missing are some 300ft redwoods.
Looks like the focus for the heaviest rains is bumping northwest a little, favoring the northwest half of Iowa over the next week. Still may get 1"+ down this way but southern edge is trending this way.
If this model run of the ICON works out that 15-17" of rain forecast will go nicely with the 5-7" of rain that fell in the Des Moines area a few days ago.
