FAR. WITH THIS CURRENT SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH, IT SOUNDS LIKE CURRENTLY, WEATHER WISE, WE HAVE NOTHING SEVERE ONGOING, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS HERE ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA, WE HAVE THAT ONE LITTLE CLUSTER, SOME STORMS IN NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ON, WE SHOWED YOU A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF SOME HAIL UP TOWARDS HARDIN COUNTY. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE UP THAT WAY HERE JUST TO THE NORTH OF HUBBARD. CARROLL GAVE US WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE BOARDS ON HER DECK OR SOMETHING OUTSIDE HER HOUSE AS A REFERENCE POINT. SO LET’S ASSUME IT’S ABOUT FOUR INCHES ACROSS. LOOKS LIKE WE AT LEAST GOT MAYBE SOME MAYBE UP TO PING PONG. GOLF BALL SIZE, AT LEAST HALF DOLLAR SIZED HAIL HERE FROM A COUPLE OF STONES. WE DID HAVE OTHER REPORTS OF PING PONG TO A GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL UP IN HARDIN AND GRUNDY COUNTIES. A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ON PART OF OUR TORNADO WATCH, WHICH STILL GOES UNTIL 10:00 THIS EVENING, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT. ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT I WOULD SAY IF YOU ARE, LET’S SAY, WEST OF I-35 FOR SURE, YOU’RE PROBABLY NOT SEEING ANY MORE SEVERE WEATHER. ANY STORMS AT ALL? MOST LIKELY THE AIR IS STARTING TO DRY OUT AT THE GROUND LEVEL IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. STILL LOTS OF STORMS IN NORTHEASTERN IOWA. AND THEN WE’VE GOT SORT OF A LITTLE SMATTERING OF SCATTERED NON-SEVERE STORMS AT THIS POINT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IOWA. ONE JUST MOVED THROUGH AMES A SHORT TIME AGO. IT’S NOW NORTH OF NEVADA, OVER TOWARDS ZERO. AND ROLAND AND COLESBURG THAT’S GOING NORTHEAST UP INTO HARDIN COUNTY. YOU’RE GOING TO GET ANOTHER STORM THIS DIRECTION TOO. THAT’S GOING TOWARDS NEW PROVIDENCE. AND THEN ELDORA JUST LIGHTNING. THUNDER THOUGH. NOTHING AND SOME RAINFALL FOR SURE, BUT NOTHING SEVERE AT THIS POINT. OVER TOWARDS TAMA AND THEN INTO BENTON COUNTY, IOWA COUNTY BACK HERE TO THE WEST OF MONTEZUMA AND SOUTH OF GRINNELL IN POWESHIEK COUNTY. ALSO A STORM THAT ONE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT STRONGER, BUT AGAIN, NOT SEVERE FOR THE TIME BEING. AND THEN OFF TO THE SOUTH, ONE HEADED TOWARDS OTTUMWA. AND THEN IT PROBABLY WILL GO THROUGH THERE INTO NORTHEASTERN WAPELLO COUNTY AND THEN EAST OF CORYDON AND ALLERTON SOUTHEAST, I SHOULD SAY THAT’S GOING TO HEAD EASTWARD TOWARDS THE CENTERVILLE AREA AND LAKE RAPID LAKE HERE. BEFORE TOO LONG, ALL THOSE NON-SEVERE FOR THE TIME BEING, YOU CAN SEE THE MODELING TRYING TO DEPICT THAT SORT OF BROKEN LINE OF SOME STORMS IN EAST, CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF IOWA, NOT QUITE AS WIDESPREAD OR THAT STRONG THOUGH, SO THAT ACTIVITY MOVES EAST THROUGH THE EVENING. WE GO PAST SUNSET. PROBABLY NOT MUCH GOING ON. WE’LL WATCH FOR A LITTLE BIT OF REDEVELOPMENT FROM SOME OVERNIGHT ACTIVITY, I SHOULD SAY. LATE EVENING, YOU KNOW, MAYBE 10:00 TO MIDNIGHT, THAT SORT OF THING, INTO PARTS OF THE STATE. ALTHOUGH THIS IS LESS LIKELY TO BE SEVERE, JUST SOME OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY INTO TOMORROW MORNING. THAT’S HOW WE’LL START OUR WEDNESDAY. AND THEN AS WE GO INTO WEDNESDAY, THERE IS ANOTHER RENEWED THREAT FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER HERE. IT’S NOT AS HIGH OF A RISK AS WE HAD EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON OR IS ONGOING RIGHT NOW. NORTHEAST IOWA, NOT THE LEVEL THREE RISK, BUT FOR NOW, JUST A LEVEL TWO RISK CENTRAL AND THEN INTO EASTERN IOWA. ONCE AGAIN, WE’RE PROBABLY WHERE STORMS WILL START AND THEN THEY’LL MOVE EASTWARD. SO AS SOON AS MAYBE THREE OR MORE LIKELY 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THEN THEY’LL ZOOM OUT OF HERE PROBABLY BEFORE TEN, BUT JUST IN CASE UNTIL 10:00. LARGE HAIL THREAT, MAYBE SOME DAMAGING WINDS. IF THE STORM GETS STRONG ENOUGH, MAYBE A TORNADO, BUT EVERYTHING KIND OF HAS TO GO JUST WRONG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. SO THAT’S WEDNESDAY’S THREAT. IT LOOKS MORE WIDESPREAD THAT WE’LL HAVE THUNDERSTORMS, INCLUDING SEVERE ONES ON FRIDAY ACTUALLY LATER THIS WEEK. SO THOSE ARE YOUR TWO DAYS TO WATCH FOR ANY FURTHER SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL. SO AS YOU GO TOWARDS TOMORROW DURING THE LUNCH TIME HOUR, AS MORE CLOUDS KIND OF SPREADING ACROSS IOWA, NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF THUNDERSTORMS, WE’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE SUBTLE SORT OF LOW PRESSURE CENTER DEVELOP OUT TOWARDS OMAHA AND COUNCIL BLUFFS. NUDGE A FRONT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STATE HERE, DRIER AIR OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT CLEARER SKIES SOME AND THEN TRY TO PRODUCE SOME STORMS AHEAD. A LITTLE BOUNDARY IN THIS PARTICULAR SIMULATION, THIS IS KIND OF TOWARDS HIGHWAY 14 I GUESS, OR SO DOWN TOWARDS THE KNOXVILLE AND INTO CHARITON AND CORYDON AREAS. AND THEN THAT MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND STRENGTHENS AS WE GO THROUGH THE EVENING. SO THAT’S YOUR MAIN WINDOW OF TIME LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, EVENING FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS ON WEDNESDAY. THEN WE’LL HAVE A DRY DAY THURSDAY. FRIDAY BRINGS US SOME HEAT, SOME WIND, AND THEN SOME AFTERNOON STORMS. THESE LOOK LIKE THEY’LL PROBABLY BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN WHAT WE’VE SEEN LATELY. AND THEN WE’LL COOL THINGS DOWN ON SATURDAY. CLOUDS LINGERING, AND THEN WE’LL HAVE TEMPERATURES ONLY AROUND 50 WITH SOME GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS. CALM THINGS DOWN A LITTL
