Tracking Weather Across the State
After many damaging tornadoes have moved through the Oklahoma area yesterday, they are once again under the risk for significant tornadoes today. All modes of severe weather are possible today from areas around Wisconsin and Michigan, all the way back down through Texas. Our very own Ben McMillan is on [...]
Had enough yet? If you live in eastern Iowa the threat is not over, but also far from a certainty. The Storm Prediction Center has eastern Iowa in a slight risk for severe weather. This as a strong cold front makes its way across the state. As that happens, strong [...]
After nearly a full year without a tornado, Iowa’s “lucky” streak is about to come to an end. A powerful storm system that spawned tornadoes across several states will push into Iowa, bringing with it a strong chance for tornadoes. Most storm chasers will target areas south of Iowa, and [...]

After Saturday’s storms in the Great Plains and again on Sunday including, we expect, southwest Iowa, eastern Iowa could be in the crosshairs for a major severe weather outbreak.

As you can see in the graphic above, a narrow corridor is the focus for the threat of severe weather this afternoon and evening. This threat lies along a frontal boundary draped across the state today that will serve as the focal point for thunderstorm development. Last night, many areas [...]
Over the past few days, Iowans have been enjoying this wonderful spring time weather; but could the month of May be ushered in the same way? We will first finish of the month of April warm as temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70’s today through Tuesday. The [...]
