Scattered thunderstorms will continue early this morning, mainly across northern Iowa and the greater Highway 20 corridor, lasting into mid morning. Up to penny sized hail and locally heavy rains may occur with the stronger storms. After a break into the afternoon, thunderstorm chances increase again by late afternoon with the potential continuing into the night. There will be a Marginal Risk (1/5) of severe weather with these storms. Large hail, damaging winds, and locally heavy rains will be the primary threats. Flash flooding is unlikely, but low visibilities and considerable ponding water on roads may occur in the heavier downpours.

The weather will be active through the work week with intermittent chances for showers and thunderstorms through at least Thursday. A few of the storms may be strong at times with hail, gusty winds, and locally heavy rains. Temperatures will be warm as well with highs in the 70s Wednesday, and then still in the 60s or 70s Thursday. Overnight lows will be fairly steady in the mid 40s to mid 50s into Thursday morning.
