Iowa Weather Forecast
Off and on scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast today into Monday morning. Severe storms are unlikely, but heavy rain is possible and may lead to continued or renewed flooding in southwest or south central Iowa, or where recent heavy rain has fallen. Low lying, poor drainage, and areas with current ponding or near fuller creeks are most at risk for flooding. Additional rises on creeks and streams is likely, but river flooding is not anticipated though within bank rises may occur. If you encounter any flooded roadways, make sure to turn around and don’t drown! Floodwaters over roadways can be deceptively deep and fast moving; it doesn’t take much to float a car downstream.
