It was another dry week in the Raccoon River Valley, as we finish up January with below normal precipitation levels across the area.

According to the National Weather Service, Perry saw 0.08 inch of rain this past week, Jefferson saw 0.04 inch and Guthrie Center had 0.01 inch.

That brings monthly precipitation totals to between 0.23 and 0.44 inch in January, far below the normal average of just under one inch.

Perry ended the month with more than normal snow thanks to the early January storm, recording a total of 5 inches, or 0.4 inch more than average.

Both Jefferson and Guthrie Center came up short for snow this month with 4.3 and 3.5 inches respectfully, when they usually see 6.6 to 5.6 inches.

There is a final chance to add to those totals this weekend with a shot at snow Saturday evening.
