After some heavy rain early Monday we're primed for flooding issues this week as there is more rain in the forecast! Monday night/early Tuesday is the next good chance for a soaking, with more rain chances lining up for Tuesday night and Wednesday!
The reason for the wet weather? A strong area of low pressure will track out of the West and move slowly across the Plains. While some folks in the Dakotas are looking at blizzard conditions, we're looking at a perfect setup for multiple rounds of heavy rain in the Quad Cities!

Here's a forecast from the NWS WPC (formerly the HPC) that shows rain totals from Monday night through Wednesday evening. Rain will be heavy from Nebraska through Michigan, including right here in the Quad Cities.

| Mon night through Wednesday |
And for a local perspective, here's an in-house model which shows projected rain for the local area through Wednesday night. Notice many spots settling between 2 and 3 inches of rain, on top of the near inch that fell early Monday!
