There does not seem to be a morning any more in which we do not talk about heavy rainfall in some portion of the Corn Belt, and this morning is no different. Central Illinois, northeastern Nebraska, and northern Iowa are the areas that have been hit especially hard over the past 24 hours, with localized rains exceeding three inches. It was enough to produce yet another round of flash flooding, and there still were a few counties in Iowa under flash flood warnings here early on this Wednesday. Rain has accumulated to the point where parts of the Midwest have now recorded their wettest June on record; Lincoln, Illinois was one place that accomplished that feat yesterday. The frontal system responsible for all of the rain in the Midwest since late last week is finally going to be moving over the next 24 hours, but it means one last big rain event for especially areas east of Interstate 35 for today and tonight (probably lots of severe weather and locally heavy rains for especially northeastern parts of the region). Not much rain will fall for tomorrow and Friday in the Midwest, and most rain for Saturday will be in the far north. A cold front for the second half the weekend will mean one more rain threat for the region, but then we are looking at dry weather (and mild temperatures) for the work-week period of next week as an expansive area of Canadian high pressure dominates the eastern half of the country. Even the Delta and the Southeast will see temperatures cool to near normal next week, ending a heat wave that has likely given those areas one of their hottest Junes on record. What we need for the Delta/Southeast is rain. There will be some rains in that area tomorrow/Friday as the remnants of a frontal boundary sags into that area, and another threat for early next week on the expected cool down. My thoughts right now though is to keep the very best rains just to the southeast of the heart of the Delta, though whether that is indeed the case for next week is highly dependent on possible tropical weather. One can find a few weather models that want to spin up quite a storm in the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.
