Another rain event is in the books, and while any rain is good new, it didn't do much as far as our deficit goes.
The showers & thunderstorms brought damaging winds and small hail across some hometowns, especially northwest of the Quad Cities, as well as heavy rainfall in some spots. The storms formed ahead of a cold front that swept through the area Friday, leaving us with a cooler, more fall-like pattern.
Check out the some of the rainfall totals from across the area:
Since June 1st, the airport in Moline has seen 10.34" of rain, and that is just over 5 inches
below average, which is why we are still classified under a "Severe" drought. Right now, the next six days are looking dry. There is another chance for rain along a cold front that rolls in NEXT weekend. Of course, timing of that system will be key.
Here is an area-wide plot of the Thurs. night/Fri. morning rainfall totals:
