Additional heavy rainfall may occur this afternoon and evening in portions of northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin, areas that saw 2 to 6 inches of rain over the last 48 hours, which could quickly result in renewed flooding. Confidence in timing of additional heavy rain is low, but additional heavy rain Friday afternoon into the overnight looks to mainly focus south of US Highway 18. Therefore, the Flood Watch Continues for those areas but has been cancelled for locations north of there.
