BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) — The National Weather Service says the southeast corner of Iowa, including the city of Burlington, is expected to see between 2 to 4 inches of rain over the weekend from the remnants of Hurricane Isaac as the system crawls its way through the central U.S.
Meteorologist David Sheets, based with the weather service at Davenport, says weather models show the storm system taking more of a turn east, which would take rain away from southeastern Iowa and more toward Illinois.
He says the system won’t bring thunderstorms to southeast Iowa, but steady rains will fall over the area through Sunday. He says there could be some short periods of heavy rain, and that some low-lying and urban areas could see minor flooding.
