…MORE STORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS OVER SOUTHWEST IOWA THIS EVENING…

A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO DRIFT NORTH AND EAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST IOWA FROM NEAR CLARINDA TOWARD THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR BETWEEN AVOCA AND STUART. THE STORMS WILL BE RELATIVELY SLOW MOVING AND QUITE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAINS WITH PONDING WATER ON ROADS AND RAPID RISES IN SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS. RAINFALL RATES MAY REACH ONE TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR. THE STRONGER STORMS MAY ALSO PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH.

AVOID DRIVING THROUGH STANDING WATER OR FLOODED AREAS. SLOW DOWN AND DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL IN HEAVIER RAINS AND BE AWARE OF HYDROPLANING.
