Tonight's storm was producing up to 1-inch of rain in less than an hour, according to NWS.
Expect certain areas to flood, like low-lying and poorly drained streets, highways and underpasses as well as farmlands near creeks, streams and drainage ditches.
We could see a brief break in the rain Monday evening before another round of widespread rain moves in, according to Storm Center 7 Meteorologist McCall Vrydaghs. Temperatures for the area will fall back in to the 40s.
Vrydaghs said we'll see more sun Tuesday, mixed with a few showers when an upper level disturbance pivots through. We'll see highs in the mid-50s, with lows in the mid-30s Tuesday night.
Thursday looks to be the best day of the week with mostly sunny skies and warm breezes. Highs will reach the upper 60s. Rain will arrive overnight Thursday along with a cold front Friday morning. Rain and thunder is expected to return Friday along with warmer temperatures in the mid 60s.
The weekend starts nice with partly sunny skies and warm breezes.
