Rain Lifts Iowa Spirits Yet Leaves Crops in Critical Condition
State climatologist Paul Waite says weekend rains offered little relief to corn and soybeans, which remain in critical condition. Iowa saw about a tenth of an inch of rain statewide on Sunday, with Cedar Rapids and Storm Lake receiving the heaviest amounts, while northern areas benefited more from rain on Friday and Saturday. Southern and central regions have only about 40 percent of normal rainfall, pulling moisture reserves toward critical levels.
