(Radio Iowa) – The recent snow and rains have helped push back some of the drought conditions in the state. D-N-R Hydrologist, Tim Hall, the rainfall has been good to see. “The statewide average over the last seven days, three times the normal rainfall for that seven day period. And for the month of March, we’re ahead of normal. And so those things are all reflected in the U-S Drought Monitor this week,” Hall says. Northeast Iowa remains the driest area of the state, but the picture is better than last week.
“Almost 20 percent of the state was designated as D-3 extreme drought. And now that’s down to 12 percent,” he says. Hall says it is good to see the dry weather turnaround in March. “Every month that goes by between March and April in May and June, the monthly precipitation averages go up. So that’s why it’s really critical when we get above normal rainfall in March, because March is a pretty wet month, and even more so for April and even more so for May,” Halls says. He says the past few years a promising start to spring didn’t pan out. 
“We’ve seen really encouraging early spring and late winter rainfalls, but then the tap has been shut off. And we’ve missed out on April May and June rainfalls over the past few years,” he says. “So we’re really hoping that this will set a trend that will allow us to see above normal rainfall in April and then May and then June. And that’ll go a long ways toward getting some significant areas of drought wiped off the map here.”
The Drought Monitor shows the areas of the state not reporting any drought have gone from just more than two percent to now just under ten percent.

(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon says the County will be participating in the statewide tornado drill Wednesday morning (March 27th), as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa.
For this drill, the National Weather Service in Des Moines will issue a mock tornado warning issued at approximately 10:00-a.m., to coincide with weekly weather radio testing. Kennon says outdoor warning sirens will be sounded at or soon after 10:00-a.m. in towns throughout Cass County.
Also, those who subscribe to the Cass County Emergency Notification System will receive an alert concerning the drill. This is an excellent opportunity for residents, businesses, and schools to practice their own procedures in the event of real severe weather.
In the event of actual severe weather occurring during or close to the drill time, the drill will be cancelled.
