The Stateline is on the eastern edge of deep tropical moisture, and most of the the showers and thunderstorms are lagging back to the west across Missouri and Iowa to the east of a slow moving cool front that is about to stall out to our west for a couple of days. It will be very warm and muggy overnight with low's in the low 70's. Showers are expected to ease eastward out of eastern Iowa into northwestern and north central Illinois later tonight. Cloud cover and very humid air along with intermittent showers and scattered thunderstorms on Monday, will keep the temperature from rising out of the low 80's. With the front stalled to our west there will continue to be a good chance of showers and thunderstorms off and on through Wednesday. Very heavy rains are anticipated farther to the west stretching from southeastern Kansas through Kansas city northeast across Iowa. There could be some rainfall totals in the next 3 days of more than 5" in that area. The stateline has the potential for picking up 1" to 2" of rain by late Wednesday with some locally higher 3" amounts. It does look like the heavier rains, though, will be off the the west of the Stateline.
