Small airport in Polk County, Iowa* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Much of central Iowa. * WHEN...Through late Thursday night. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A prolonged period of showers and thunderstorms is forecast to continue now through Thursday evening. This rain will be falling on already saturated soils. Rainfall totals will range from 2 to 4 inches in a southwest to northeast oriented band across central Iowa, with locally higher amounts likely. This rainfall may lead to flash flooding. In addition, poor drainage and low lying areas may experience ponding. All this rainfall will cause rises on area rivers, which may exceed flood stage in at least a few locations.
