Flood Safety Tips

Scattered showers and thunderstorms to move east northeast through Iowa early this morning, likely impacting the AM commute. No severe weather is anticipated, but some gusty winds and heavy downpours will be possible. Fast storm motions to limit overall rain amounts to less than 1.5”, but If storms move over the same area then an isolated flash flood risk may develop.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely late tonight through Tuesday, with some repeating over the same area leading to a risk for isolated flash flooding. Rain amounts between 1-2” are likely from central IA into northeast IA by 7am Tuesday. Remember, never drive through flooded roads or go around barricades!

Showers and thunderstorms will develop late this evening through the overnight hours primarily across Iowa into far northwest Illinois. A few of these storms may become strong to severe, with heavy rain and damaging wind the primary hazards.

Daily chances of showers and thunderstorms will be seen this week, with heavy rain possible. Rainfall totals over 2” are likely by Thursday for much of the outlook area, with some localized amounts over 4” possible. This will lead to an elevated risk of flash flooding, especially in poor drainage and urban areas.
