  in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Several rounds of rain have brought 2 to 6 inches of rain to
    central Iowa this week. Additional rain this afternoon and
    evening will occur as storms push through. The combination of
    saturated soils and high rainfall rates may overwhelm
    capacity, which will increase flooding potential.
