Tracking Weather Across the State
Timing is not on our side with this system. Severe weather remains a possibility especially for the northern half of Iowa tonight, but it’s expected to be an overnight event. Storms will streak from the Dakotas into Iowa tonight bringing with them a threat of strong winds, large hail and [...]
Slight risk of severe weather today, expected to remain capped for most of the day with strong wind and large hail possible late tonight. Will write a full discussion on Monday’s severe weather threat later this afternoon.
