Moisture in the atmosphere. Incredibly high level of moisture, when you get a situation like that, you are almost always going to see two to five inches of rain. Thats my concern in the thats my concern in the northern counties, well be at Veridian Credit Union on our home equity loans.

Showers and thunderstorms not only tonight, but into portions of tomorrow and tomorrow evening as well. There is a threat of locally heavy rains around the area. 73 in cedar rapids right now, south to south east winds at 13 miles an hour. There is our dew point at 72. Now, on the radar, you can see the thunderstorms that are across our northern two tiers of counties. They have been sitting up there for a couple of hours, now and they have produced rains 2 1 2 inches. Going in closer on all of this, you can see there is wisconsin, thunderstorms that extend from there all the way into the North Central part of the state. Right now, some of the heavier activity is located at lansing in the northeastern corner of the state. A little developing around fort at kinson. These are capable of producing hours time. Flash flooding could become an issue in some parts of northeastern iowa, especially considering the fact that new storms are developing out here in southwestern iowa low level jet is starting to kick in. With this front draped in and around this area, thunderstorms will be very likely, tonight. I do think the front will sag further to the south later on. So about the northwestern half of our region has the best chance of seeing the storms. Y east, there might not be any. Im thinking it will be the focus across our northern and western counties. On our predictor here, you can see at 11 00. Not doing a terrific job of showing thunderstorms in northeastern iowa, it does redevelop wean 1 00 and 3 00 in the morning. They are scattered across northeastern iowa and sinking into our southern counties. Thats one of the models interpretation of what is going to happen. We should get into a break, more sunshine atmosphere recharged tomorrow afternoon and eventually, our cold front comes into that tomorrow afternoon and evening and it should generate more showers and thunderstorms with the potential of heavy rain. Probably in the northern half of our counties, as far as the temperatures go, most of the counties in the far north where at 66 degrees and we go to our satellite. We can see this big trough developing over the western united states. Cool air, warm humid air and converging over eastern iowa. In the same general area through tomorrow. That setteds us up for a pretty good stance of showers and thunderstorms and heavy rain. Heres tomorrows temperature. They are expecting to be back into the low to mid80s. A lot of moisture in places, plenty of instability for any storms that produce the heavy rain. Tonight, you can see the cluster developing to the north.

Fox 28 news iowa state fair failed to break its attendance record. 1 Million People attended, down 86,000. There is only one reason for that . Poor weather conditions. Slater says rain as well as high humidity kept some people home this year and rain an showers, maybe thunderstorms rumbling through our area again a lot of us have avoided the rain. It has been raining pretty good for the last three hours. Rain perhaps more than two inches in some spots, well be welling the day started out pretty good. Had some sunshine early on, but the clouds started to roll in. The front stretched out throughout this area here. Showers and thunderstorms taking off in our northern counties. The rest of us are high and dry. Rain is expected if not tonight, during the day tomorrow. Some of the thunderstorms are putting out significant rains in northeast iowa. Stretch from southwestern wisconsin across our Northern Tier and back into the North Central sections of the state. As it stands now in our viewing area, the heavier rains are found in this area, right up in here. You can see east, pretty hefty cell, getting ready to cross the mississippi river. Another one has redeveloped out here. No Severe Weather has been reported, but the cells have the potential to produce over an inch of period of time. Since they are over the same general area, getting some of the storms to come through, you can find yourself to three to find inches of rain in one area. There could be some flash flooding. Other thunderstorms are taking shape in southwestern iowa, moving northeast along the boundary. All night long showers and thunderstorms will be found across much of our northern counties. Im going to take you to a of what is expected to happen. It shows at 11 00 tonight, not too much happening in northeastern iowa. That tells us the model may not be onto the trends like we like to see it. I believe it is catching additional energy. And you can see new cells beginning to forme our central counts were as another line comes across the area, 3 00 in the morning. By 5 00 in the morning, they are starting to weaken a little bit and push eventually around 7 00 am, the storms are gone and tomorrow morning, we should get into a dry period. Actually, a little sunshine out there. That will once again heat up the atmosphere and generate a new round of instability. Tomorrow afternoon. Up front, well come into that. Additional thunderstorms will be a possibility. More heavy rain will be a possibility, too, so im thinking tomorrows threat will be across the southeastern half of our viewing area. Thats the way its looking right now, as far as temperatures go, 73p 74 degrees. Up here where the rain is falling. 66 in charles city as we go to our satellite, a trough of low pressure forming to the west of us, pulling up the low level moisture and there is alot of moisture in the air. As this thing creeps across the midwest, it will squeeze that out in the form of thunderstorms produce locally heavy rains. Lears tomorrows temperatures, we should make it back into the low to mid80s around eastern iowa. What you are not going to like, the dupes in the mid70s, another day with muggy conditions and all of the moisture can be squeezed out in the storm. If you get a thunderstorm in that type of environment, heavy rains in a short period of time will be a possibility. Tonight, we are seeing the to the southeastern parts of the state. So, your forecast overnight, scattered showers and thunderstorms around, most numerous, in my opinion across the northwestern twothirds of our region. Lows to midto upper 60s, tomorrow, we should get a break from the storms early in the day, more expected with the front in here. Cooler in the northwest, warmer in the south. 84 in iowa city. Le 6 in washington and lots of extended forecast has thunderstorms moving out by thursday morning. Well clear our skies out. Friday looks like a pretty good day to start. Clouds are moving back in for saturday and showers and thunderstorms look to be a pretty good bet that day with a High Temperature of 78 degrees. I sure do think well see big rain totals come into the area by the time this system moves out. Two or three inches would not be out out of the question. Iowa has the makings of a Good Football Team but can they be as consistent as they were last year hear from some coaches next.

The big thing is consistency were not near consistent enough right now there will be two or three really good plays really sharp looking plays and then somebody will blow something so consistency from here on in is really a big emphasis.
