Outlook for Today through the Weekend

Isolated Severe Storms Possible Friday PM

A cloudy start today, along with perhaps a stray shower across our south this morning. Chances of storms will increase Friday afternoon/evening, with some isolated severe storms possible. A dry weekend overall will then be seen, with increasing heat and humidity Sunday, along with a chance of showers.

We’re tracking yet another potential risk of isolated severe storms for Friday afternoon/evening, primarily over eastern Iowa. Exact timing of storms remains uncertain at this time. The main threats with any severe storms will be strong winds and large hail. Stay up-to-date with the latest forecasts, and considering adjusting outdoor plans!
