⚠️ Severe Weather Possible Friday ⚠️

A round of strong to severe thunderstorms may develop across parts of Iowa Friday afternoon and evening as a cold front moves into the state. While details are still being refined, conditions may become favorable for storms capable of producing large hail and damaging wind gusts.

We'll continue to monitor trends and provide updates as confidence increases. Be sure to have the ISCN Weather app installed and check back regularly for the latest forecast information.

The Weather Prediction Center has highlighted much of Iowa as an area where heavy rainfall may occur on Friday.

Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to impact the state Thursday into Friday as moisture increases and a cold front approaches Iowa. Forecast models suggest some areas could receive 1 to 2 inches of total rainfall between Thursday and Friday, with localized higher amounts possible where thunderstorms repeatedly move over the same locations.

The recent dry conditions across Iowa should help absorb much of the rainfall, but localized flooding concerns cannot be ruled out if heavier rain falls over the same areas multiple times.

In addition to the rainfall potential, a few strong to severe storms are possible Thursday and Friday. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined portions of northwestern Iowa in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather on Thursday. The severe weather threat on Friday remains uncertain and will become better defined over the next few days.

We've posted a detailed forecast update with the latest timing, rainfall expectations, and severe weather outlook. Check the comments for the full forecast. ⬇️

We are tracking pop-up thunderstorms across portions of Central Iowa this Monday afternoon.

One of the stronger storms this afternoon produced penny-sized hail near Stuart, Iowa, around 4:11 PM. While most thunderstorms will remain below severe limits, brief heavy rain, lightning, gusty winds, and small hail are possible with any storm that develops.

If you have outdoor plans this evening, be sure to keep an eye on the sky and stay weather aware. You can track thunderstorms in real time using the interactive radar on the ISCN Weather app or online at IowaWeather.com.

We’ll continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed throughout the afternoon and evening.

🌩️ Sunday Evening Severe Weather Recap 🌩️

Several strong to severe thunderstorms developed Sunday evening across portions of southeast South Dakota, eastern Nebraska, and western Iowa, leading to numerous Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and a handful of Tornado Warnings near the Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota state line.

A few tornadoes were confirmed in southeast South Dakota as storms tracked through the region. Large hail was also a significant concern, with one Severe Thunderstorm Warning near Shelby, Iowa warning for hail up to hen egg size (2 inches in diameter). Damaging wind gusts accompanied some of the stronger storms as well.

The graphic below highlights all Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and Tornado Warnings issued during Sunday's event. Thank you to everyone who followed along with our updates throughout the evening and submitted reports from the field.

⚠️ SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN IOWA ⚠️

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for northwest Iowa until 1:00 AM CDT. Thunderstorms developing this evening may produce large hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter, damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph, and an isolated tornado or two. The tornado threat appears greatest with any storms that develop near a boundary across the region during the evening hours.

A separate Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for portions of west-central and southwest Iowa until 3:00 AM CDT. Additional thunderstorms may develop later this evening and continue overnight, with large hail being the primary threat. Some storms could produce hail up to 2 inches in diameter along with damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph.

If you are located within either watch area, be sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings overnight, including the ISCN Weather app. We'll continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed.

⚠️ 9:15 PM Weather Update ⚠️

The Storm Prediction Center indicates a localized corridor of enhanced tornado potential may persist for another 1 to 2 hours across portions of southeast South Dakota, northeast Nebraska, and northwest Iowa.

Storms near Sioux Falls continue to show signs of rotation, and conditions remain favorable for tornado development. The greatest concern will be with storms on the southern flank of the storm cluster as they move east-southeast this evening.

If you are in northwest Iowa, especially near the South Dakota and Nebraska borders, remain weather-aware and be prepared to take shelter quickly if a warning is issued.
