FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS: I am growing more and more concerned that dangerous flash flooding could impact the region this weekend. Strong, perhaps severe storms will be possible Saturday afternoon and evening into the overnight hours. With all of the heat and humidity, we will have excessive amounts of thunderstorm energy and moisture for these storms to work with. If you live in a flood prone area, make sure you are prepared and ready to act quickly if a flash flood warning is issued for your area. We will keep you advised all weekend long! The ranges below will change and shift around a bit, this just gives you an idea of what is possible.

Take a break from sales tax
Iowa’s annual Sales Tax Holiday on select clothing and footwear will be statewide Aug. 1-2.
No Iowa sales tax, including school and local option sales taxes, will be collected on clothing and shoes priced under $100.
Qualifying items include shirts, pants, caps/hats, socks, shoes, sandals, underclothing, uniforms for work and school, adult and baby diapers, coats, bathing suits, leotards, tights and costumes.
For a full list of what will and won’t be taxed, visit the Iowa Department of Revenue’s website at tax.iowa.gov.
Iowa businesses that are open on these days are required to participate; this includes online retailers. They are not allowed to advertise that they will pay or absorb the sales tax on items that don’t qualify.
