Heavy rain is possible through Wednesday evening across south central Iowa.

According to the National Weather Service, the center of Tropical Depression Cristobal is forecast to push through far eastern Iowa, but the majority of moisture will fall to its west over the entire state, especially along and east of Interstate 35. A flash flood watch is in effect through Tuesday evening.

Most areas are expected to receive between 1-3” of rain, with more possible depending on the development of additional storms and the exact track of tropical moisture.

Significantly cooler air will follow the rain Wednesday, with highs in the mid 70s to low 80s expected through the end of this coming weekend. Stay tuned to KNIA/KRLS for the latest weather information.
