A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO DRIFT SOUTH TONIGHT TO THE 
IOWA MISSOURI BORDER. THE COMBINATION OF HIGH MOISTURE LEVELS & A 
WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT INTO 
FRIDAY. A LOW LEVEL JET WILL KEEP FEEDING MOISTURE INTO THE AREA 
CREATING ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS. THE 
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF DURING THE DAY ON FRI & END 
FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR MOST OF THE AREA.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE HALF TO 1.5 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT 
THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 30. A 
NARROW BAND OF 4 TO 6 INCHES IS POSSIBLE SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF 
INTERSTATE 80...WITH THE MOST LIKELY AREA BEING AROUND HIGHWAY 34.

MOTORISTS SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL AT NIGHT & AVOID DRIVING 
INTO MOVING WATER OF UNKNOWN DEPTH.
