RADAR images / DATA from the past 3-4 days ...that You wont see ANYWHERE else
As many of you know the main issue had to do with the three large MCC -Mesoscale convective Clusters-- that hit large portions of the WCB and specifically Iowa -- over the past three days.
For those of you that do not know .. a MCC is a large group of powerful and slow moving thunderstorms which usually develop during the overnight hours that last through Dawn and drop significant rains.
Over the long the three day weekend there were three specific and large well organized MCC features. I have saved the radar images of these 3 different MCCs which I am presenting here so you can get a better grasp of how the weekend developed.

Re: RADAR images / DATA from the past 3-4 days ...that You wont see ANYWHERE else
Thank you for bringing us this infomation WXRisk. Notice on that totals map that N Iowa and SMn there`s pretty much the dividing line with below I-90 being the 'wettest" part of S Minnesota, that was where the May 2nd snowline was. We had a foot of snow that probably had 2" of water in it that took a week to get rid of. Then we had nuisance rain inbetween, we only had maybe 4 days May12-16 that was field fit. Right now we didn`t get the 8" stuff, places like Grinnell got, but we are so saturated that even .5 or .7" just prolongs the mess. Fields pattern tiled @ 75` does little good if the culvert at the ditch is 4 feet underwater and the outlet rivers are above flood stage.
Do you see any "window" for fieldwork after next week for Iowa and the rest of the waterlogged midwest? Will we be perhaps wanting a rain in a month? Cause these roots have absolutely no reason to go down.
