September 2026 Review

Dry and pleasant weather will be seen for much of the coming work week. While there is a risk of rain Thursday night into Friday, a vast majority of the area will remain dry.

A very wet stretch of weather has finally come to a close across the region. A LOT of areas saw at least 3” of rain in the last 3 days, with some reports over 4” The highest totals fell in Scott, Washington, Louisa, Muscatine, and Mercer counties. This rain fell over an already saturated ground resulted in many creeks going out of their banks and rises on tributary and the mainstem Mississippi. A more detailed summary will be made available in the coming days.

September was a rollercoaster with a heat wave during the first week before a couple storm systems brought heavy rainfall and seasonable temperatures the last couple of weeks. On average, this led to temperatures being well above average areawide with some spots seeing over 200% of their normal precipitation!
