CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - Our next round of showers could bring some heavy showers and hail.

Showers and storms push across eastern Iowa overnight. Some storms could be strong enough to again produce hail or gusty winds. Heavy rainfall will also be possible with this round. In fact, the potential exists for well over an inch in some spots, which could lead to localized ponding of water or even localized flash flooding if it comes down hard enough. As always, if you come across a flooded roadway, remember to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”.
