Strong to potentially severe thunderstorms are moving into portions of northeastern Iowa early this afternoon. Hail and damaging winds are the main concerns but we can't totally rule out a tornado. Stay alert and take shelter if a warning is issued.
Showers and thunderstorms will roll west to east through the region this afternoon and evening. Some of these may (level 1 to 2 out of 5 risk) become severe with mainly a risk for large hail and damaging winds.
Storm chances (40-65%) increase through the early afternoon from west to east, bringing potential (15%) for damaging winds with them. Storm chances frequent the forecast through the weekend into early next week.
