Midwest Soil Wetness Depiction
Flooding of the Midwest extended well beyond the immediate
vicinity of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers as shown
in this sequence of figures of soil wetness indices (brighter = wetter).
The "Great Lake" of Iowa,
a region of particularly high soil wetness and surface flooding,
can clearly be seen in the July 15 image.
