Heavy rain approaching the Mississippi River

Update as of 4:22am - The showers in eastern Iowa have weakened significantly and are moving very slowly. The showers this morning should generally be light to moderate and scattered in nature. -ADAM

Torrential downpours will work into the far western sections of the WREX-TV coverage area by 2:30am. While these storms appear to be weakening somewhat, there still could be some 1"/hour rains (especially over Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Carroll, and Whiteside County). Showers can be expected in the Rockford metro around the 4:00am timeframe.

Additional heavy rain is possible Tuesday night into Wednesday. Adam Painter will have more on this prospect later this morning. -ERIC
