Heavy Rain

The heavy rains that continued through much of the nighttime hours created quite the flooding conditions across the state. Currently it appears that 28 counties are under a flood warning for rivers/streams that are above or forecasted to be above flood stage in the coming hours. Most flooding is minor at this time, with only a few locations forecasted to see moderate flooding for a short time. A look at the observed precipitation for the 24 hours previous to 7 AM this morning across Iowa:



A mix of clouds and light showers expected today, with temperatures only expected in the 50s to lower 60s in a few locations. Look for more sunshine and warming temperatures through mid-week. More details on the weeks forecast in tonight's update!
