⚠️Slight Risk of Severe Weather Sunday ⚠️

A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across western Iowa on Sunday afternoon (after 3pm) and evening.

Storms are expected to develop near the Nebraska border and move into western Iowa during the late afternoon and evening. The atmosphere will become increasingly unstable, providing the energy needed for some storms to become severe. The primary threats will be large hail and damaging wind gusts. Some of the stronger storms could produce hail larger than 2 inches in diameter. Wind gusts over 60 mph will also be possible with the strongest storms.

If you have outdoor plans Sunday afternoon or evening, be sure to keep an eye on the forecast and have a way to receive weather warnings. The ISCN Weather app is a great way to stay informed as conditions evolve. Check back throughout the weekend as we continue to fine-tune the forecast.
