More Rain Hits Iowa

Iowa is getting hit again today with powerful storms.

Today is starting with severe weather-related watches and warnings in effect across the country's midsection. More of these weather alerts will be issued as the day progress from the lower Great Lakes to the Texas panhandle.

A cold front from central Canada is the culprit behind today's severe weather, according to the Midwest Regional News story. Cooler air following the front will slice into warm and humid air flowing northward from the Gulf of Mexico.

A large cell of storms just moved across eastern Iowa with heavy wind and hail reported in several areas. That area was just beginning to dry out a little but they are definitely not out of the woods yet. Interstate 80 remains closed to traffic and many other roads in that part of the state are closed as well.
