...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM CDT MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of southwestern, central, and northeastern Iowa.

* WHEN...From 7 AM CDT Monday through Tuesday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely from
    Monday morning through Monday night. While rainfall amounts in
    some areas will be modest, there will be pockets of heavier
    rainfall that may lead to flooding, especially if multiple rounds
    fall in the same area. In addition, several more rounds of heavy
    rainfall are expected later this week, from Tuesday onward, and
    this watch might need to be extended or succeeded by more watches
    later.
