Washington County in southeastern Iowa...

* WHEN...Until 200 PM CDT.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying
and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring. Streams
continue to rise due to excess runoff from earlier rainfall.
Low-water crossings are inundated with water and may not be
passable. Expect many areas of slow moving or standing water. It
will take several hours for all the water from these storms to work
through local drainage systems in urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 804 AM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
heavy rain of 2 to 5 inches occurred since last evening across
the area. This heavy rain falling on saturated ground has
resulted in flooding of low lying areas, streams, creeks, rivers
and poorly drained areas. The threat for heavy rain has ended,
but runoff will delay the fall of water levels and improvement in
conditions.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Iowa City, Muscatine, Washington, Tipton, Marengo, West Branch,
Sigourney, Columbus Junction, Durant, Coralville, North Liberty,
West Liberty, Williamsburg, Wilton, Kalona, Tiffin, Wellman, Lone
Tree and University Heights.
- This includes the following highways...
Interstate 80 in Iowa between mile markers 205 and 277.
Interstate 380 between mile markers 1 and 7.
