FLOODING DOES BECOME A CONCERN. EXACTLY. YEAH. THE WATER IS VERY EASILY COLLECTIBLE AND RUNOFF IS REALLY ADDED UP QUICKER THAN WHAT IT DOES WHEN YOU HAVE DRIER CONDITIONS. OF COURSE, WE JUST HAVEN’T HAD A SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL BREAK IN THE RAINFALL AS FAR AS DAYS OF DRY WEATHER, SUNSHINE, THAT’S WHAT WE NEED. IT IS IN THE FORECAST, SO I’M HAPPY TO SAY THAT. BUT A VERY WET START TO YOUR MORNING AS WE’RE TRACKING MORNING RAIN, MONITORING THE FLOOD THREAT THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AS WELL. TALKING ABOUT ALL ALONG RIVERS, LOW LYING AREAS, PLACES THAT COLLECT WATER EASIER. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY, HOWEVER, IS DROPPING. SO THERE IS A SILVER LINING WITH ALL OF THIS. IT’S A COLD FRONT PASSING OVER US, SO WE ARE GOING TO BE DROPPING THE HUMIDITY AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF TODAY AND SETTING UP FOR NICER CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REST OF THIS WEEK. STILL TRACKING THAT LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN OVER DES MOINES OVER CENTRAL IOWA, THE HEAVIEST STUFF NOW MAKING ITS WAY TOWARDS KEOSAUQUA. IT’S GETTING OUT OF OUR AREA PRETTY MUCH, BUT MORE MODERATE AND EVEN SOME HEAVY RAIN SPOTS OVER OSKALOOSA. GOING TO ALBIA, GOING TO CENTERVILLE AS WELL. EVEN CORYDON AND CHARITON KIND OF OFF THE MAP HERE, BUT STILL TRACKING THAT AND EVEN FARTHER TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF I RATHER SORRY, EAST AND NORTHEAST. WE’RE STILL LOOKING AT SOME MORE OF THAT RAIN, AT A BETTER CLIP THAN WHAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IN CENTRAL IOWA. TEMPERATURES NOW MAINLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S, LIKE IN NORTHERN IOWA TO LOW 70S. WE’RE HOLDING STILL, HOLDING AROUND 64. IN HAMPTON, ONE OF THE COOLER SPOTS ON THE MAP, 68 IN FORT DODGE IN ALGONA. SAME STORY FOR BOONE RIGHT NOW, THEN DOWN TO THE SOUTH AROUND 69. OSCEOLA AND LAMONI TRACKING SOME NICER TEMPERATURES THAN WHAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAD IN THE AFTERNOONS RECENTLY, HOUR BY HOUR, STILL HOLDING ON TO SOME RAIN CHANCES. CLOUD COVER IS GOING TO BE STICKING AROUND THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE A LOT OF SUNSHINE, HOWEVER, AS WE GO THROUGH THE LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE STILL HOLD ON TO SOME RAIN CHANCES SO I WOULDN’T PUT AWAY THE UMBRELLA JUST YET. BUT YOU CAN LEAVE IT AT HOME AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THURSDAY, AS FAR AS HOUR BY HOUR THROUGH THE REST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, EVEN CLOUD COVER STICKS WITH US COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS, BUT THE OVERALL RAIN CHANCE IS COMING TO AN END AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE TOO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT WE’VE SEEN SO FAR. STILL LOOKING AT MAINLY TENTHS OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL. TO ADD ON TO WHAT WE’VE SEEN SO FAR, AND IT IS A NEW RECORD HERE FOR THE MONTH OF JULY FOR DES MOINES. AS FAR AS WHAT WE’VE SEEN SINCE, WE’VE BEEN KEEPING RECORDS FOR THE MONTH. WE HAVE MORE THAN TEN INCHES ON THE MONTH, SO WE ARE DEFINITELY WATER LOGGED, BUT WE ARE DRYING THINGS OUT THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. MORE SUNSHINE, DRIER WEATHER AND ALSO DRIER AIR. WE’RE NOT GOING TO BE AS HUMID AS WE GO INTO FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THOSE MORNINGS LOOKING SPECTACULAR. WAKING UP IN THE 50S. BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I MEAN, IT’S DEFINITELY A FAR CRY THAN WHAT WE HAD YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WITH TRIPLE DIGIT EVEN CLOSE TO 110 FEEL-LIKE TEMPERATURES. BUT AS WE G
