This Week in Marion Weather: Sunny with Thunderstorms Possible Tuesday Night through Thursday

So finally the flood waters are starting to recede in Johnson and Linn County, and although officials are keeping a wary eye on water levels on the Cedar River as it continues to drop, the threat of rain does not necessarily correlate to a threat of mass flooding.

This is especially good because it looks like the next three days there might be a good chance for some thunderstorms.

According to a forecast from the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities the chance for thunderstorms will begin Tuesday night and carry on through Thursday.
