The updated SPC Day 1 outlook will continue the moderate risk of severe weather across much of northern Iowa and southern Minnesota. There is a significant risk of damaging winds, very large hail, and tornadoes across the area today. In fact, the updated outlook has increased the probability of tornadoes over northern Iowa and southern Minnesota. The morning thunderstorms will actually help increase the risk of tornadoes this afternoon/evening as the outflow boundary left in its' wake will interact with the warm front to create substantial low level shear. This would appear to once again be a very dangerous and life threatening situation over areas of the plains states today.
I will be chasing today across northwest Iowa, this blog will have the latest updates as I can provide them. As we near the afternoon initiation you may be able to view live video from my vehicle as well as track my location via the Iowa Chaser LIVE Chase Page.
Next update in regards to afternoon chasing and severe weather is expected in the early afternoon hours.
