Continued rounds of showers and thunderstorms rolled across the state over the early morning hours. A few of the storms were severe, but the main threat was the very heavy rainfall that occurred as well. Most of the active storms have moved off into Illinois with only a few scattered showers mainly along US Hwy 30 across the state.

The warm front has made its way into the state this morning. At 7am, the front was situated from north of Davenport to Knoxville to Nebraska City NE. The front will continue to slowly move to the north. Anywhere along and north of the boundary will see renewed chances of showers and isolated thunderstorms this morning into the early afternoon hours before there’s a break in the action.

Tonight, the low pressure center will track across the state, bringing another round of severe weather to the state, with damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes possible. There is still a slight risk of severe weather for the rest of the day into tonight for the southeastern 3/4ths of the state.

Also there will be a renewed risk of flash flooding from repeated heavy rainfall occurring over the same areas. Already Waterloo has picked up nearly 2.5 inches of rain from repeated rounds of thunderstorms last night into this morning. This may occur in other places as well. Thus the Flash Flood Watch is still in effect through this evening for most of the central portions of the state (Mainly between US Hwy 20 and Interstate 80).
