(Radio Iowa) – The most recent rains do not figure into the U-S Drought Monitor report this week, which shows nearly 47 percent of Iowa was drought-free. The Iowa D-N-R’s Jessica Reese-McIntyre says things have been heading in the right direction. “When you compare it to a year ago in like mid-May of last year, we are sitting a little bit better statewide,” she says. Reese-McIntyre says this weeks rains will help build up groundwater as we enter a time when the crops are growing and water use overall increases with warmer temperatures. She says it’s not certain if the wetter trend will continue.
“According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, the month of June outlook for precipitation looks to be equal chances of precipitation, so there’s no real clear signal, but it will be one way or the other. So we could likely see just normal precipitation, which is good, because May and June are the wettest months,” she says. Reese-McIntyre says one issue looming is the amount of rain the driest areas of the state in western Iowa will get. “It looks like the western third of the state will see the chances of precipitation are leaning below normal more significantly than the rest of the state,” Reese-McIntyre says.
She says that is just a forecast for now, and she is hopeful those areas will get rain to help with their deficits.

(Radio Iowa) – Monday’s storms brought large hail, high winds and heavy rain to wide sections of Iowa, mostly the state’s southern half. National Weather Service meteorologist Alexis Jimenez says at least one rainfall record was set. “Des Moines had officially recorded 3.74 inches of rain yesterday,” Jimenez says. “Places up north of there, like Ames, recorded close to two inches. Generally, central and southern Iowa recorded one to three inches.” Two-inch diameter hailstones were reported in Clark and Decatur counties in Monday afternoon’s storms, while peak winds were clocked at 66 miles an hour in Dallas and Hamilton counties.
Some areas just south of Des Moines report rainfall since Sunday night at nearly five-inches, and she says the rain will continue to fall. “North-central Iowa and eastern Iowa will get that steady rain for much of the day,” Jimenez says. “It could be up to an inch in Webster City and places north of there, and maybe some thunderstorms will be possible in portions of eastern Iowa in the afternoon hours.”
No severe weather is forecast today (Tuesday) in Iowa and the forecast calls for the rain to gradually come to an end by Wednesday.
