Almost Three Weeks Without Measurable Rain

We've now gone twenty days without measurable rain officially in the Quad Cities and it looks like we could go another week without any real chance of wet weather.

Our last measurable rain at the Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois, fell back on August 5th when 0.49" accumulated in the rain gauge.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms brought power outages to the "northwoods" of Wisconsin Monday morning, but that rain will stay away from eastern Iowa and northwestern Illinois.

While there may be a couple of slight chances (20% or less) of showers Wednesday and Friday, it looks as though we'll remain dry through the end of the month.

As of right now, the 0.76" of rain that has officially been recorded in the Quad Cities puts this August as the 9th driest August on record.  For this August to stay in the Top Ten, we need to stay at or below 0.83".
