Weather Update - June 1

Despite a severe thunderstorm watch being issued for portions of southern Iowa, the severe weather threat has never really ramped up due to continue cloud cover and the lack of organized convection. The Storm Prediction Center has chosen to continue the watch over southern Iowa, but it would appear that storms will remain very unorganized through the evening hours.

Thunderstorms are likely to continue over much of southern Iowa, thus despite the lack of severe weather, the likelihood of flooding is fairly high due to the training of storms over the same areas. As the storms continue across the state tonight and into tomorrow, we'll finally clear off on Tuesday afternoon and stay that way until later this week. The next update will contain the forecast for the remainder of the week to see how warm or how cold we can manage to get!
