It was probably closer to 2.4 or 2.5 inches. The start time of rain is precise. It ended at about 4:40 p.m., with exactly .38 inch falling. Several more rounds of showers followed, starting at 9:54 p.m. The end time for the total is an estimate from KCCI radar, which usually has a 5-10 minute lag. |

We may have had very light mist in the half-hour before the reading, as indicated by KCCI Radar. It was not raining at 6:30 a.m. when I took the reading. If we had any precip in that half-hour it did not appear to add to the amount in the gauge at 8 p.m. yesterday. (In all likelihood, the radar-indicated precip did not reach the ground.) Most of this fell between 6:38 p.m. and 8 p.m. yesterday evening, with about .18 inch falling in a brief shower from 9:50 a.m. to 10 a.m. yesterday morning.
