2nd Half of Weekend Outlook

Heavy Rainfall July 31 - August 1

The low pressure system that brought all the recent rain will move out of the area, allowing some clearing and drier conditions into the start of next week. High temperatures will be a little below normal through Monday.

Several rounds of heavy rain occurred across the region early Friday morning into Saturday afternoon. Heaviest rains fell mainly along and north of Interstate 80 and east of the Mississippi River where reports of 2 to 4 inches of rain were common with pockets of 5 to 7 inches. Record rainfall was recorded at both Dubuque and Moline on Friday.
