Dry skies coming to an end

Skies will remain mostly cloudy today as an upper level disturbance moves out of the Plains and into the Midwest.  The showers falling across Iowa should hold together long enough to make it further east into the Stateline later this afternoon.  In fact, there are already a few light showers falling in Cedar Rapids, IA so counties along the Mississippi River may feel a rain drop or two later this morning.  I do think a better chance for rain to move in will come this afternoon and evening, aided by the upper level disturbance but also an MCV (mesoscale convective vorticies) that has developed on the back edge of the storms near Lincoln, NE.
