Mar. 23 Severe Weather Update #3

Many of the thunderstorms moving across the state have weakened well below severe limits, however, one storm in southwest Iowa remains tornadic. Portions of Adams and Cass counties are under a tornado warning until 8:30 PM as a storm has showed signs of producing a tornado for the past half-hour. This storm is moving north/northeast at 55 mph and may continue to pose a threat for the next hour. The only reports received thus far are of funnel clouds that were occurring at approximately 8:00 PM. Otherwise several large hail reports (1" to 1.5") have been reported previously.

The IowaChaser radar has been zoomed in to focus on this storm as it remains the main threat for portions of Iowa this evening.
