A relatively quiet end of the weekend before the serious threat on Monday on Monday

Cedar Rapids, Iowa (KCRG) – the weather remains largely quiet until the end of the weekend.

A stray shower overnight

One or two stray showers are possible north of the Highway 20 overnight, but every rain that falls is scattered, light and has little, if only any effects. Lows fall into the low to medium 1940s.

Build clouds on Sunday, a few showers, possible

Sunday is contained more clouds than the sun because southeastern winds draw warm, moist air in East -Iowa. The highs reach the upper 60s and low 70s, and there is the potential for a few scattered showers from Sunday afternoon to Sunday evening. The cloud cover and the southeast winds keep us mild on Sunday evening when the lows fall into the 1950s.

Your first warning: serious threat on Monday

On Monday there is a moderate risk of storms in a large part of the TV9 consideration area. A strong system with low pressure will pass into our northwest and bring us warm, moist air and a cheap environment for strong to heavy storms. Damaged winds, large hail and tornados are possible for all storms that form on Monday. The current timing brings the heavy heavy storm activity to the east of Iowa on Monday evening on Monday evening, although some heavy storms were also able to develop on Monday afternoon. Take a look after updating the forecast in the next few days, while we will continue to provide you with updates of this incoming serious threat. A cold front moves through East -Iowa until late in the early Tuesday morning and pushes the severe threat to the east and outside of our area.

What you can do to prepare now

With the potential for storms on the horizon, you can now prepare several options for receiving warnings. In this case, a NOAA weather radio is a great tool. Make sure that it is connected and switched on, ready to receive warnings before going to bed. We also recommend the KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather app, with which you can receive customer-specific warnings for your location. Of course, we will also present updates on KCRG.com and KCRG-TV9 as conditions.

Now there is also a good time to do what to do when a warning is issued for your region. You know where the safest places are in your house and the fastest way to get there. You want to make sure you reach the lowest level of your house and place as many walls between you and the outside as possible. A basement or an inner bath or a closet on the lowest level of your house are great examples. Make sure that everyone in your family knows what to do and where to go so that everyone can be prepared in your family if storm threatens.

Your first warning: further shower chances next week

After a dry day on Tuesday, another chance for showering in East -Iowa builds on Wednesday and Thursday. The maximum stalls for the middle and the end of the next week range from the mid -1960s to low 70s with depths in the upper 40s and low 50s.
