This comes after severe weather slammed parts of the Plains and Midwest over the past 24 hours. Eastern Iowa was hit particularly hard by damaging winds and flash flooding. Further south, this same system triggered a new threat of heavy rain and possible flash flooding in the southern Plains this weekend,

For this reason, the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for much of our area. This is in effect through Sunday evening. Expect a few spotty storms overnight and Sunday morning, with increasing coverage into Sunday afternoon as a result of daytime heating.
