HEAVY RAINS, THEN COMFY...
A slow moving cold front and very high moisture levels has led to heavy rainfall in parts of the Upper Midwest. Here are some of the rainfall totals from Saturday night into Sunday morning:
Jones County received the top amounts in the area with 6-7" reports.
In those spots where heavy rain fell there are Flood Watches posted through Monday morning:
Some additional rain on the order of 1-2" will be possible, with some locally higher amounts of 3-4" will be possible, especially near and north of Highway 30.
Rain will wind down late Monday morning and drier air will move in as the afternoon goes on:
Humidity levels go from being in the 70s and 80s to the 60s by the afternoon on Monday:
By Tuesday morning it'll feel like a whole new world outside with dew points down in the 50s:
Humidity levels stay on the lower side Tuesday afternoon and temperatures will be near/below normal:
Drier air will be in place through Wednesday and we'll be dry for much of the rest of the week. There's a slim chance for some precipitation on Thursday with a cold front that comes through:
Take some precautions Monday morning if you're in that Flood Watch... then we'll get some relief from the humidity and the heavy rain this week.
