THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...Southwest into portions of central Iowa.

* WHEN...From 4 PM CDT this afternoon through Friday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Storms are expected to increase in coverage this afternoon

    of time. This may lead to flash flooding. This may be
    especially true in portions of Adair, Greene, and Taylor

    Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with isolated higher amounts
    are expected by sunrise Friday.
