 +----------------------------------------------

The featured map is of rainfall reported from Saturday Night for locations just northwest of Des Moines.  A swath of 2-3 inches fell with Rockwell City (RKWI4) receiving over 3 inches!  The weather pattern for early this week looks stormy with more chances of heavy rainfall.  A flash flood watch has been posted for most of central Iowa due to the threat of heavy rains Monday Night.
