Rain has already arrived to northeast Nebraska, and it will further spread to southeast Nebraska and Iowa this afternoon as wet conditions settle in through Saturday.

While it stole much of our late-summer sunshine, there is a big silver lining: it knocked out huge swaths of drought across the region. 🌧️🌾
