Residents of Iowa, particularly in Clinton, Scott, Benton, and Iowa Counties, should brace for potential flooding as the National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL has issued a Flood Watch effective until May 1 for the Iowa River at Marengo and until May 2 for the Wapsipinicon River near De Witt 4S. Flooding is possible with water expected to reach the bottom of the Marengo levee and impact low-lying agricultural land along the river. In Clinton and Scott Counties, moderate flooding may affect homes along old U.S. Highway 61. Residents are advised to monitor forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flood Warnings be issued.
