6P 2026-09-29. From US National Weather Service Des Moines Iowa: It has been a near-record month for rainfall across Iowa, and it will end with more widespread and potentially heavy rain. Showers and thunderstorms will move into western Iowa on Tuesday, then persist in a swath that will slowly move across most of the state for a couple of days before finally exiting. The most likely period of heavy rainfall will occur from late Tuesday night into early Thursday, or perhaps even into late Thursday. Total rainfall amounts during this time will be 2 - 4 inches in many locations, with isolated areas potentially receiving up to 6 inches, which will result in renewed flooding concerns. Be sure to stay tuned to the latest forecasts, and possible watches and warnings, as the week progresses.
Consistent rain is expected for several hours, with tropical downpours possible at times. Rainfall amounts of 2" to 4" are likely, with locally higher amounts possible. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with additional heavy rain. Flooding concerns will increase with each round of rain.
