The Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of southwest Iowa under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for isolated severe thunderstorms Saturday evening and overnight.

As a disturbance moves out of the Rockies Saturday evening, there is a small chance that isolated thunderstorms could develop across southern Nebraska before moving into southwest Iowa.

There is still considerable uncertainty regarding whether storms will develop at all. Increasing warm air aloft may prevent thunderstorms from forming, but if storms are able to develop, a few could become severe. The primary threats would be large hail and strong wind gusts.

Looking ahead, much hotter weather is expected to arrive Sunday and continue into early next week. Afternoon temperatures in the 90s combined with increasing humidity could push heat index values above 100° in many areas.

⚠️ Wednesday 6/17 Severe Weather Outlook ⚠️

We're continuing to monitor the potential for severe weather across eastern Iowa on Wednesday, where portions of eastern Iowa have been placed under and slight to enhanced risk of severe weather.

The day may begin with scattered showers and thunderstorms moving through parts of central and eastern Iowa during the morning hours. How these morning storms evolve will play a major role in determining what happens later in the day. If the atmosphere is able to recover after the morning activity moves out, additional thunderstorms could develop along an approaching cold front during the afternoon and early evening.

The primary severe weather threats across Iowa appear to be damaging wind gusts and large hail. While an tornado threat cannot be completely ruled out, the greatest tornado threat currently appears to be southeast of Iowa, closer to parts of Illinois and Indiana.

There is still some uncertainty in the forecast. If morning storms linger into the afternoon or if the cold front moves through earlier than expected, the severe weather threat would be push outside the state of Iowa. However, if enough sunshine develops and the atmosphere becomes unstable during the afternoon, stronger storms would become more likely across eastern Iowa.

Make sure you have the ISCN Weather app installed and check back as we continue to monitor conditions and provide the latest updates.

⚠️ Wednesday Severe Weather Possible ⚠️

Wednesday is shaping up to be a day to watch closely across portions of Iowa as the potential for severe thunderstorms continues to increase.

A surge of warm, humid air is expected to move into the state Tuesday night into Wednesday, creating an environment favorable for thunderstorms. Current forecast guidance suggests storms will likely develop late Tuesday night and continue into Wednesday morning.

Additional thunderstorms may develop Wednesday afternoon and evening, although confidence in that portion of the forecast is lower right now. How the Wednesday morning storms evolve will play a major role in determining whether the atmosphere can recover enough to support another round of severe weather later in the day Wednesday.

The Storm Prediction Center currently places a large portions of Iowa in a level 2 of 5 (Slight Risk) for severe weather on Wednesday. If storms can fully take advantage of the expected environment, hazards could include large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes.

There are still several days to fine-tune the forecast, and the details regarding timing, storm coverage, and the highest-risk areas will likely change. We encourage everyone to continue checking back for updates as we get closer to Wednesday.
