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

On Monday a sharp gradient in temperatures was featured and now on Thursday, we feature a sharp gradient in rainfall thanks to a very slow moving cold front and storms training along the boundary.  Rainfall will slowly shift east today and hopefully linger over Southeast Iowa where they need it the most.
