Severe weather chances increase on Thursday and Friday this week. Thursday through Thursday night has a marginal risk for isolated severe storms mainly in central and northwest Iowa. Timing of the strongest storms looks to be in the afternoon through evening. On Friday, similar locations in central and northwest Iowa are in a slight risk (level 2/5) for scattered severe storms. Some uncertainty still remains in expected timing and location of the storms on Friday.
