Forecast

As we head into our afternoon, the flood watch exists until 1PM. After that, we can look forward to a little bit of dry time! We'll still stay under cloudy skies, which will keep our temps topped out at 70 for our afternoon. We may see some dry time for the beginning of our Wednesday evening, but more rain is expected.

Very spotty and isolated storms are possible for our Thursday morning, and thanks to the cloud coverage from last night we'll wake up a little warmer. The afternoon and evening do appear drier and there may be some late-day sunshine to get temps back to near 80 degrees.

Friday will be a warmer and windy day that ends with thunderstorms in the evening. We will also be monitoring a severe weather chance on Friday with highs in the mid 80s.

We'll keep the rain at probable chances over this weekend, so have a backup plan for any of your outdoor events this weekend. Saturday may stay dry through the afternoon, with rain moving in during the evening. Sunday looks Wet.

In total, we could see an additional 2.0" to 4.0" of rain across the region through Sunday night. Some of our highest amounts will be across southwest Iowa where amounts could reach 5.0" of rain.

Next week should start to see a 'drying-out' pattern return to the region with temps at, or cooler than 75 degrees.
