Wow. I was at the DSM Arts Fest and noticed the lightning on my way home. I thought it wasn't supposed to storm until tomorrow? Judging by the radar we're about to get killed.

Nice bowing segment moving south across central Iowa. Expect very strong winds with this. Hail will be possible, even an isolated 'nado. Heavy Rain too.

Still looks like a good bet for severe weather tomorrow, especially NW Iowa into Minnesota.


FCCY, you should watch KAAL ;)

how does it look for the Dubuque area for tomorrow?

The gust front from these storms is rapidly bearing down on Ames as they slowly weaken. Could be really windy (60+ mph) because the winds are falsely tripping the Doplar's Tornadic Velocity Signature functionality.

This complex is an interesting one. The west edge is very slowly moving South at less than 20 mph. While the Central Iowa portion is rapidly developing South and east along its outflow boundary at almost 40 mph.

The cell sittng over Milford Iowa at 10:55 am has an estimated cloud top of 65,000 feet and is putting down almost 3 inches of rain per hour!

Starting to get really windy here in Des Moines.

Mother Nature really hates my hometown this week....wow. No idea what the total is but it has to be approaching 10in this week after tonight's downpour.

BOHICA Ames, here it comes again! looks like theres some red and magenta colors on radar.
