- Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop late tonight through Tuesday morning, with heavy rain likely. Some training of storms is possible leading to an elevated risk of flash flooding in poor drainage and urban areas. Currently, the heaviest rain axis is expected from central IA into northeast IA where localized amounts of 3″ are possible.
- Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected this week, potentially bringing a renewed risk for flash flooding and causing rises on area rivers especially the Skunk and Des Moines Rivers.
