Late last night, 4.7-inches of rain that fell between 8-and 10-p.m., was recorded in Coon Rapids. Widespread flooding was reported across northern Guthrie County. All paved roads north of Iowa Highway 141 west of Highway 4 to Coon Rapids are closed, with water still rising in northern Bagley, backing-up from Mosquito Creek. Springbrook State Park was evacuated.

The Iowa DOT reported at around 1:30-a.m. Highway 25 was closed 2 mile east of Bayard due to flooding, with a detour route established around Bayard.

The overall flash flooding potential will not end by then, however. More showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain are expected again tonight. Rainfall amounts may reach one-to three-inches, with locally higher amounts possible. And, with soils already saturated in many areas, more flash flooding may occur.

A Flood Warning remains in effect until 2-a.m. Tuesday for northern Audubon, Dallas, and Guthrie Counties, along with southeastern Carroll County.
