No doubt, this has been a wet year. Check out the climate graph with the amount of rain Cedar Rapids has received this year. It has come down in buckets, too. Almost every time. This is quite the change from the moisture deficit we had coming into the Summer time. Once June hit, the rain took over and continues into September. We have had a surplus every month. This is especially true over northeast Iowa! Temperatures have remained warm throughout.

It is possible that we may go dry all the way through Thursday of next week (once this system exits), which would be great. Even though there is a chance of rain later Monday, it’s of low confidence at this time and may hopefully miss many of us.

We’ve got to get things dried out for the harvest season.

Have a good weekend!
