We are 6 inches below normal precipitation for the year.

Same problem here in the Iowa desert west of Pella. Grass turned brown and died this week. Local farmer tried to double crop some beans when the prediction was for rain. The seed is just in dry dirt and won’t sprout.
 
What is the opinion of experts about the rain next week? Is it going to be widespread events or more quick lines of t-storms moving through most of the week?
