Light Rainfall

A band of light rain continues to work across portions of western Minnesota and western Iowa, stretching from just northwest of Des Moines, IA to near Fargo, ND.  Typical rainfall values from this line have been less than a tenth of an inch, with only a few isolated spots showing up with greater amounts across southwest Minnesota.  This band of rainfall is occurring ahead of a weak warm front that is working eastward in association with a low pressure system that is located over North Dakota.  Expect this light rainfall to continue to work eastward across portions of Minnesota and Iowa through the evening hours.  Accumulations should continue to be light with only a few hundredths of an inch of rain expected as the rain lasts for only a few hours at most.
