Flood Watch
Issued: 5:54 PM Jun. 4, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Southwest into portions of central Iowa. * WHEN...From 4 PM CDT this afternoon through Friday morning. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Storms are expected to increase in coverage this afternoon into tonight and will be able to produce high rainfall rates in a short period of time as they repeat over the same areas. While soils have been dry recently, the high rates may exceed the soil's ability to absorb the rainfall in the short period of time. This may lead to flash flooding. This may be especially true in portions of Adair, Greene, and Taylor Counties, which have received rainfall in the past few days. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with isolated higher amounts are expected by sunrise Friday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. For the latest stream observations and forecasts refer to weather.gov/desmoines/water. &&
