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

The 5 day precipitation forecast from HPC is bullish on rainfall for the areas of SE Iowa that need it with forecasted amounts around 2 inches.  This rain will be thanks to a slow moving cold front that will bring rain into the state later this evening.  Another round of showers is expected for the weekend.
