It's an absolutely gorgeous day on the Storm Lake waterfront. Hope it is as nice where you are at the moment.

Good Morning, Storm Lake!
We're still seeing lots of gulls migrating through. They've picked a good week to visit: sunny today and tomorrow with partly cloudy skies at midweek, with more sunshine in the forecast for next weekend. Highs well into the 70s for much of the week, possibly cracking 80 on Saturday. No rain in the forecast this week, with a better chance for showers next week.

FLOOD WATCH

A Flood Watch is in effect Tuesday evening through Thursday evening for Buena Vista County and portions of northwest Iowa.

A widespread 2–4 inches of rainfall is possible through Thursday. Excessive rainfall could lead to flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, low-lying areas, poor drainage areas, and urban locations.

⚠️ Remember:
• A Flood Watch means conditions are favorable for flooding.
• Be prepared to take action if a Flood Warning is issued.
• Never drive through flooded roadways — Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
• Those living in flood-prone areas should begin preparing now and closely monitor conditions.

Your Storm Lake Fire Department will continue to monitor conditions throughout the week.

Stay weather aware and follow trusted local sources for updated forecasts, warnings, and river conditions.

AVISO DE POSIBLES INUNDACIONES

Está vigente un aviso de posibles inundaciones desde la tarde del martes hasta la tarde del jueves para el condado de Buena Vista y partes del noroeste de Iowa.

Es posible que se registren precipitaciones generalizadas de entre 2 y 4 pulgadas hasta el jueves. Las lluvias excesivas podrían provocar inundaciones en ríos, arroyos, cauces, zonas bajas, áreas con mal drenaje y zonas urbanas.

⚠️ Recuerde:
• Un aviso de posibles inundaciones significa que las condiciones son propicias para que ocurran inundaciones.
• Prepárese para actuar si se emite una advertencia de inundación.
• Nunca conduzca por carreteras inundadas: dé la vuelta, no se ahogue.
• Quienes viven en zonas propensas a inundaciones deben comenzar a prepararse ahora y vigilar de cerca las condiciones.

El Departamento de Bomberos de Storm Lake continuará monitoreando las condiciones durante toda la semana.

Manténgase informado sobre el tiempo y consulte fuentes locales confiables para obtener pronósticos actualizados, advertencias y el estado de los ríos.

Good Morning, Storm Lake.
A break in the dreary weather pattern gave us a gorgeous sunset last evening, as seen from Sunrise Park.
