Heavy Rainfall Driving Tips

[8/14/2026 8:15 PM] Light rain showers are currently moving in from the west and are forecasted to increase in coverage and intensity, especially south of Highway 30, mainly after 10 PM tonight and last into the early morning hours. Primary hazards with these storms will be heavy rainfall and lightning, but isolated damaging winds cannot be ruled out south of I-80.

Rounds of thunderstorms will occur across the area through tonight. They will be heavy rain producers, with heavy rainfall likely laying out between Highway 30 and Highway 34. Torrential rainfall is expected with 1-3 inches likely and localized swaths of 3 to 5 inches possible. Some severe storms will also be possible, especially tonight with damaging wind.

Much of today will remain dry after the last of the AM showers/storms move out, with more storm chances tonight. Sunday and Monday will finally feature largely dry and seasonal conditions, which is much needed after days of rain.

After a break in the rainfall for much of today, we will see the chance for storms again this evening/tonight. There will be a low-end severe threat, with isolated severe winds and heavy rainfall being the main threats.

With heavy rainfall expected during the (morning/afternoon) commute, here are some tips for safe driving in the heavy rain. Make sure to slow down, increase following distance, and turn on your low-beam headlights to improve visibility. Stay alert! Stay safe!
