More storms throughout this week

Those storm chances will likely continue for the next couple of days, but our temps will slowly begin to climb back above average. Luckily, this weekend looks a bit different!

Forecast

Parts of our area are gathered under a Flood Watch until Tuesday evening. This is due to the heavy rainfall we saw last night, and continue to see into our Tuesday afternoon.

The storm trend continues but becomes a little less widespread into the afternoon, with most of the afternoon/evening rain being south of Omaha/south of I-80. Temperatures will struggle to reach 70 degrees in most areas today, that's in part thanks to the previous cold front. We could be a bit breezy again today, with northerly winds pulling in additional cooler air.

Later Tuesday evening and going into early Wednesday morning, we get another shot at storms. These once again don't look very severe, but will add to our already growing rain totals. Later Wednesday afternoon, we could actually see some more dry time! It'll be a great chance to get a quick walk in as temps hang out in the lower to mid 70s.

There may now be a little more dry-time continuing into Thursday, and we could even squeeze out some sunshine. This will push our temps back to near 80 degrees.

Friday continues the wet-weather theme, with thunderstorms and breezy winds possible throughout the afternoon and evening. We will also be monitoring a severe weather chance on Friday with highs in the mid 80s.

In total, we could see 1.0" to 3.0" of rain across the region through Friday night. Some of our highest amounts will be across southwest Iowa where amounts could reach 5.0" of rain.

This weekend does have some rain forecast, but the whole weekend will not be wet. Look for spotty rain on Saturday, and some very isolated rain on Sunday. We'll be cooling off back into the 60s/70s again by Sunday.
