STORMY WEATHER AHEAD IN IOWA
Soggy weather is in Iowa’s extended forecast. National Weather Service meteorologist Brad Small says the current weather pattern is “locked in” for a while.
Several instances of flash flooding were reported in Iowa, starting Saturday night.
Much of the Midwest and the Great Lakes states are in the same boat when it comes to this zone of humidity. Thunderstorm activity in the evening can be deceptive, according to Small, and he advises Labor Day weekend campers to be alert.
Iowa State’s football game was cancelled Saturday evening due to dangerous weather in the Ames area.

SAFE HAVEN BABY GIVEN TO DHS
The Iowa Department of Human Services says a baby has been turned over to the state. Radio Iowa’s Dar Danielson reports.
–
D-H-S reports the baby boy was born on August 19th at an Iowa hospital and turned over to the state under the Safe Haven Law.
The law allows parents to give up children who are 30 days or younger without facing prosecution for abandonment.
The parents are also allowed to remain anonymous. D-H-S says it is the 32nd Safe Haven baby since the law began.
A court hearing will be held within one month to terminate the parental rights.
