Station Number: IA-LN-49
Station Name: Cedar Rapids 2.1 NW
Report Date: 4/12/2026
Submitted: 4/12/2026 5:12 PM
Scale Bar: Mildly Dry
Description:
Drought improvement as per email received from drought . gov on April 9th to Category D0.  We are on the wet pattern for this month.  Total precip for the month so far is 3.37 inches.  This is a new Station Record for the month of April.  Increase in birds and squirrels.  Also saw some flies, que in the May Fly early perhaps.  Grass is starting to have steady growth.  Some lawn mowing occurred.  Indoor temps reaching 67F, good indicator for the Furnace to be done for the season soon.  Fans and open windows utilized.  Increase in humidity has been causing windows and doors to get a little sticky stuck.  Good signs for drought improvement and looking ahead for some nice and not so nice Severe Weather Spring Days despite the rain, maybe we will see some rainbows soon :):)
