DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Another round of heavy rain could develop Monday night generating renewed concerns of flash flooding in the southern half of the state. The National Weather Service in Des Moines says many of the same areas that received heavy rain Sunday could be in the bullseye for another round Monday. A flash flood watch was in effect through Tuesday morning for a large portion of central and south-central Iowa.
Weather service forecaster says thunderstorms with heavy rain are expected between 9 p.m. Monday and 4 a.m. Tuesday. Rainfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour may be common with localized totals of 5 inches possible. With soil already saturated flash flooding could quickly develop. Some storms south of U.S. Highway 34 could produce hail and damaging wind.
Flash Flood Watch and Warnings continue for the KJAN listening area.
The National Weather Service says a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect this evening from 7 o’clock through 7-a.m. Tuesday, for the following counties in the KJAN listening area: Cass-Adair-Adams-Audubon-Guthrie-Crawford-Carroll-Fremont-Madison-Mills-Montgomery-and Page.
Rainfall totals of 1-3 inches are possible, with localized 5-inch downpours possible. A Flash Flood Watch means conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding, which may occur quickly in areas where the soil is already saturated. Be prepared to take action if a Flash Food Warning is issued.
A Flood Warning remains in effect until 2-a.m. Tuesday, for northern Audubon and Guthrie Counties, along with southeast Carroll County, in our listening area.
