From yesterday's rain to what fell this morning, heavy rainfall totals have been reported across far southeast Iowa. 24 hour radar rainfall estimates show close to 10", or more, has fallen in those areas prompting some flash flooding concerns. Now that rain continues to fizzle out and move southwest of the area this morning as it moves away from the low level jet and into a drier air mass. Our east, dry wind really helped prevent those showers from making it this far east.
We'll likely keep the clouds around through the remainder of the day with some sunshine expected later this afternoon. Storms will fire late this afternoon and into the evening as an upper level disturbance kicks out of the Rockies and moves into the Midwest. This will potentially cause severe weather over sections of Iowa and Missouri later today. The low level jet will develop again tonight but possibly a little further north and east as an area of low pressure and warm front move closer. While I don't think we'll see the 10" of rainfall like parts of Iowa saw, we could get over an inch with what falls overnight and throughout the day Wednesday.
