Wednesday's Storms Update #2

Thunderstorms moved across the state earlier today, providing some thunder and lightning for central and eastern Iowa. Clearing occurred behind this line as it rapidly deteriorated over eastern Iowa the past couple of hours. The sunshine has allowed for ample instability across western Iowa. Storms have developed near the weak front in extreme northwest Iowa, currently one is severe warned in northern Lyon county. Other storms are beginning to form both south and east of the severe warned storm, and may also be capable of large hail in the next few hours.

The SPC has issued a discussion stating that a severe thunderstorm watch may be issued within the next hour or two if storms continue to develop and become severe. Expect storms to move northeast at 25-35 mph throughout the evening... Later updates on the severe weather threat and watch issuance information may occur.
