Storms Continue...

As we enter into the workweek the thunderstorms over the state continue, with a nice line of thunderstorms moving through south-central Iowa at this hour. Expect these storms to continue to effect the state through the night, with more thunderstorms developing fairly early in the afternoon in western Iowa and continuing eastward through the afternoon. The SPC has yet to issue their day 1 outlook, however in their day 2 update there is a risk of some severe weather tomorrow over the state. I'll add in the severe weather threat at the end of this post when it comes in...

Much of the early half of this week may be wet, with small chances of showers/thunderstorms over some portions of the state. Highs for Monday should be in the 70s, with lows dipping into the lower 50s to lower 60s in the southeast with cloud cover. Highs throughout the rest of the week should range throughout the 70s, not much change. Lows will also stay steady, 50s throughout the state for the entire work week as well.

Monday Severe Weather Threat: The first SPC outlook for today indicates that the severe threat should stay south of the state. Although thunderstorms are likely, the severe threat limited by moisture/instability, etc. Updated 1:00 am
