Moderate drought back in six Iowa counties

Moderate drought back in six Iowa counties

(Radio Iowa) – The latest Iowa Drought Monitor shows moderate drought conditions have returned to about four and a half percent of the state, with the rest of Iowa rated as abnormally dry. Just over half of Fremont County in southwest Iowa is considered to be in moderate drought, along with five counties in the northeast corner of the state. All of Clayton County and most of Fayette County is in moderate drought, along with the northern tip of Dubuque County and southern areas of Winneshiek and Allamakee Counties.

Through Wednesday, rainfall in Iowa was about four percent of what’s normal for September. If the dry weather persists, this month would rank as the second driest September in Iowa since weather records have been kept.

The Iowa Drought Monitor is released weekly, on Thursdays, using weather data collected through 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. Already today (Thursday), rain HAS fallen in areas of Iowa mainly north of Interstate 80. Forecasters say a line of storms stretching from Minnesota, through Iowa and down to Missouri will develop tonight (Thursday) that could be capable of producing large hail. There is the potential for isolated tornadoes as well.
