Soggy start to the week on the way
It looks like a wet start to the work week in Eastern Iowa -- and some of the storms over the next 24 hours could bring heavy rainfall.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are moving through the area this morning, and are expected to develop and move east as we go through the day. The severe weather risk is pretty low in this scenario, but some heavy downpours are possible, according to KCRG-TV9 First Alert Storm Team meteorologist Kaj O'Mara. Total rainfall of 2 inches or more are possible in some Eastern Iowa counties, especially along and north of Highway 20.
The active weather continues tonight with another complex of storms rolling in from the Dakotas, with another chance of heavy rain.
As a result of the predicted rains, a flash flood watch has been issued for Black Hawk, Bremer, Butler, Franklin, Grundy, Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek and Tama counties, beginning this evening and running through late tonight.
