Several Days of Rain Chances

An unsettled weather pattern is shaping up for the Midwest and this will likely bring a soaking rain to eastern Iowa and northern Illinois.

This comes after the Quad Cities just endured the ninth driest September on record with only 0.96" of rain.

While I'm expecting widespread rainfall totals of one-half to one inch of rain from late Wednesday night through early Saturday, some hometowns may have isolated higher totals, especially with thunderstorms.

However, look at the rainfall forecast of more than 3" across parts of Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.  And, if that not surprising enough for you, some of that could be in the form of heavy snow across South Dakota and Wyoming Friday!
