The Week Ahead

Beneficial Rainfall This Week

2026 Spotter Training

Mainly cloudy skies will start the week off today, with rain arriving in southern areas tonight. There could be a bit of spotty freezing drizzle tonight north of Highway 20 in Iowa, but after that, mild & moist air will be around the rest of the week, with periods of rain and thunderstorms.

Rainfall is back in the forecast this week with a couple systems impacting the area. Chances of seeing at least an inch of rainfall through Friday are medium to high (60-90%), especially south of I-80. This is going to be the most rainfall the region has seen since the second week of January! No flooding concerns are expected at this time.
