Go to precipitation, then scroll down to pick a time frame. Hit states to get the borders to see locations better. Under products, you can hit %normal.
Note all the dry pockets for % normal over the past 14 days, especially in IL/IN and now w.IA and e.NE.. Rain makes grain now and lack of rain is bullish, more rain bearish in the forecasts.
Extended NWS.........pretty bullish but maybe overly bullish on rains? We're still holding the gaps higher from last nights open here at 6am.

As mentioned last night, we have a northwest flow situation and moderating temperatures on the week 2 models. Overnight that strengthened.
This was total 2 week precip on the last GFS. Liikely overdone but it shows what can happen with northwest to southeast flow....around the periphery of a heat ridge:
