...Scattered Minor Flooding this Afternoon Along with Potential
for Funnel clouds...

Locally heavy rainfall rates in excess of one inch per hour will
be seen with the numerous showers and scattered storms this
afternoon across far eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois. These
rates are likely to result in minor flooding, especially over
urban or poor drainage areas, along with those locations that saw
heavy rainfall on Sunday.

In addition, conditions are favorable for the development of
funnel clouds, and possibly brief, weak tornadoes. The National
Weather Service will continue to closely monitor the situation,
and may issue a Tornado Warning if the threat increases. If you
see a funnel cloud or tornado, seek shelter indoors and then
contact your local law enforcement agency for relay to the
National Weather Service.
