I think we need a pool reporter to talk to the head ref in Iowa City and get a full explanation of the call.

(12/22 at 10 a.m.) We're really not kidding when we say "travel not advised" on I-80 in eastern Iowa this morning. This is eastbound I-80 near Williamsburg. Many Iowa roads are VERY SLICK today and salt won't help due to the cold weather. Updates at iowadot.us.

Here's a one-week "class change" map that shows where improvement and degradation occurred. Outlooks are showing a warm and dry signal into early October; good for harvest but not so good for drought recovery. #IowaClimate #harvest22 #iawx

The latest Iowa Drought Monitor was released this morning. There is good and not so good news. The areas of Severe or worse drought diminished due to heavy rains south last weekend. However the overall area of Moderate Drought or worse conditions expanded slightly. #iawx
