Severe Weather Possible Today, Cooler Weather Rest of Week

If you thought that the severe weather that has impacted much of Iowa was done for the year, you’d be wrong.

The National Weather Service believes severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into the evening, and then again overnight. It will be a hot day as well, with heat indices this afternoon in the upper 90s to near 100.

There is uncertainty on if storms will form this afternoon. If they do, they are expected to be severe with large hail and damaging winds, the main threats. Tornadoes and torrential rainfall are also possible, though less likely.

Currently, there is a 15% chance of damaging winds and the same percentage for hail. Stay tuned to KILJ Radio for additional updates throughout the day.

The highs for the rest of the week will be in the low 80s, high 70s, so cooler weather is right around the corner.
