RAIN3 OC……… “HIGHER AMOUNTS” :10

TRAFFIC WAS SLOWED ON MANY ROADWAYS, INCLUDING INTERSTATE 29 IN WESTERN IOWA, DUE TO A COMBINATION OF STANDING WATER AND A LACK OF VISIBILITY DURING THE DOWNPOUR.

FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WERE ISSUED UNTIL MID-MORNING FOR NORTHWESTERN HARRISON COUNTY IN IOWA AND SOUTHEASTERN BURT COUNTY IN NEBRASKA:

ZOGG SAYS IN SOME CASES THE RAIN FELL A LITTLE TOO FAST FOR IT TO SOAK IN, AND IT RAN OFF AND CAUSED SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE WERE SEEING.

THE FORECAST CALLS FOR AT LEAST A CHANCE OF RAIN EVERY DAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
