Severe Weather in Extended... Iowa T'storms...

TWISTEX Update (June 2)
Location: Terril, Iowa

Despite recent severe weather with some tornadic thunderstorms over the plains states, TWISTEX has remained stagnant with the northwest flow. Models are finally converging on a very nice solution for next week, with southwest flow returning. The exact timing of the large trough that will make its' way over the plains is still up in the air somewhat. Previous indications from Tim Samaras were we could possibly deploy on Tuesday, even Monday, but latest forecast doesn't put southwesterly flow onto the plains until Wednesday. Tonights' model runs show an outstanding setup for Wednesday over central Nebraska, with continued threats likely for the remainder of next week. Likely deployment by next Wednesday, details coming in later updates...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Widespread thunderstorms continue across the state today, with only one severe weather report thankfully (large hail). Tomorrow is likely to continue this trend with scattered showers/thunderstorms across the state. When the sun does come out between the breaks in the clouds it is expected to warm up quickly, highs in the 70s throughout the state. Expect the rain to exit most of the state by Sunday night, lingering showers possible in eastern Iowa; Lows in the mid 50s to upper 50s. To start out the work week, expect highs in the lower to upper 70s, scattered showers/thunderstorms once again are in the forecast.

Going back to the tornadoes on Friday, damage surveys have been completed by the NWS, links to each of the reports below.
