The possibility of isolated storms does exist later today for the southern and far eastern edge of the state. Any small cells that do pop up, will likely be strong. Scattered showers are possible for the central portion of the state as well.

Looking at you Tuesday! 👀
The SW corner of the state has best risk to see severe storms tomorrow with a 2/5 risk. Expecting storms to move into the state mid afternoon into the evening hours. All modes of severe weather are possible but the biggest concerns are damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall adding to flooding risks. The remainder of the state is at a 1/5 risk for severe storms. We will see rain over the western portion of the state overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. Lingering morning showers and cloud cover may eat up some of the energy needed for severe storm development.

Enjoy tomorrow!! Sunny, dry, and wait, …. checks notes, only 82 degrees!! 🙌🏻But, then, Tuesday is coming in all crazy ag...

Enjoy tomorrow!! Sunny, dry, and wait, …. checks notes, only 82 degrees!! 🙌🏻

But, then, Tuesday is coming in all crazy again! Damaging winds 75+ mph, large hail, heavy rainfall with additional flooding risks, and the possible one or two tornadoes, all on the table. The more severe weather chances looks to be over the eastern portion of the state. More updates with timing and locations will be coming tomorrow!

Update from the NWS office for storm development this evening through Saturday. Significant rainfall is a huge concern with 2” per hour possible in many locations leading to flash flooding concerns and water pooling or running over roadways. Damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes, are all possible/probable. Be sure your alerts are turned on for warnings as these storms will take place in the evening into overnight hours once more.

Well, that was quite the wake up call for everyone around West Central & Central Iowa this morning! I caught up on a few hours of sleep and now updating for the remainder of today’s forecast! A Flash Flood Watch has been issued until Saturday morning at 10 am. More rain and storms are expected tonight. We will see cells begin to build in the SW portion of the state around 6/7 pm. Those cells will increase as the evening goes on and spread across the state during the later evening into the overnight and morning hours again. Central Iowa will see isolated storms beginning around 8/9 pm with stronger storms after 11 pm. *This is the latest info based on future radar models which we know can and do change. Heavy rainfall with Flash Flooding risks, hail and damaging winds again remain the main concerns. I’ll update later in the day after looking at newer radar models. Stay safe! And, as always, have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and warnings!
