Please remain weather aware as the chance for tornados increases this afternoon. Be extra mindful of the current flooding risk! PLEASE avoid flooded areas, even on the in town streets, driving through water can cause your vehicle to stall and potentially damage your vehicle.

⚠️ TORNADO RISK ADDED FOR SOUTHERN IOWA ⚠️

In its midday Friday update, the Storm Prediction Center has added a 5% tornado probability across portions of southern Iowa for this afternoon and evening. The overall severe weather risk remains a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) across portions of the state, with damaging winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes possible.

The biggest question continues to be how much the atmosphere can recover following this morning’s storms and widespread cloud cover. A boundary is expected to develop somewhere across southern Iowa or near the Iowa/Missouri border, and areas along and south of that boundary could become moderately to strongly unstable by late afternoon.

Thunderstorms are expected to redevelop later this afternoon into the evening, and there will be enough wind shear for organized storms and potentially some initial supercells. The SPC notes that enhanced low-level winds near the boundary could support the tornado threat, particularly across southern Iowa. Damaging winds will also be a concern as storms potentially grow into bowing segments this evening.

Where that boundary ultimately sets up will be important, so we’ll be watching trends closely through the afternoon.

CALL FOR SERVICE: July 16th 2026
Semi Fire.

At approximately 9:11pm, Stuart fire and Stuart Ambulance were dispatched to the 95 mile marker west bound for reports of a tractor trailer on fire.
First arriving law enforcement on scene advised that drive had successfully detached the tractor from the trailer and was no longer inside the vehicle. Fire crews arrived on scene a short time later shutting down both west bound lanes of I-80 for a very short time while crews got the fire knocked down. Once the fire was knocked down one lane was opened back up for travel to prevent any further travel delays. Personnel safety is our top priority and all involved made it back in service safely.
Stuart fire was also assisted by, Stuart Police Department, Dexter Fire, Adair County Sheriff's Office, Guthrie County Sheriff's Office, Iowa State Patrol, and the Iowa DOT
