That may all change today. Parts of southern Iowa may pick up 2-5 inches of rain. Or that is what WOWT out of omaha was showing. Hopefully it will be a nice slow rain so the ground can soak up everything.

I know posting the weather forecast is kind of boring...but the part of me that will always be a farmer...suffers a little each day right along with the the crops and food plots
You would think with a 100% chance of rain we can't miss out...can we??
Tonight: Periods of rain and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Low around 69. South wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.
Tuesday: Occasional rain and thunderstorms, mainly before 4pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 82. South wind between 9 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

I just got back from shining for the last 2 hours and it was a continuous downpour the whole night, I bet we got a couple inches easily and it doesn't look like it is letting up either.

We haven't recieved so much as a drop by 4:00 a.m., hopefully there is still some on the way...

Hope you get your rain.
I was beginning to worry myself. I just cut mine last week. Had some nice rain here. I will know more this weekend.

I guess 20% chance of rain is better then a 100% cause we finally got almost 2" last night!
The moisture along with this steamy weather should make everything grow like crazy!

I got close to an inch. With these hot temperatures on the way im glad that we got what we did, otherwise I would be getting nervous. Last thing I want is my corn to start to roll.
Glad you finally got some rain dbltree. I was watching the radar and it looked like you were right in the hot zone, but it had looked that way before and nothing had happened. We only got .6", but that is still pretty good considering that Channel 13 said no rain for the next 7 days at noon that day. I'm guessing the weather man doesnt get paid strictly on accuracy.
I was glad for the .6", my new clover plot was starting to look a little puny and that rain might get me through this heat wave.

The soil moisture along with the high heat and humidity is making everything grow...for now. A week of near 100 degrees will take it's toll.
The downside of that storm is that many beautiful fields of corn were knocked flat by high winds
My corn was pretty safe from that problem
