Severe Weather Update #2 - June 7

Three storms have formed in vicinity of the warm front across both Iowa and Nebraska, one of which has been tornado warned for over a half-hour now. The tornadic portion of the storm passed just 15 miles south of my previously mentioned virtual target area. This storm has yet to produce a tornado, although a few reports of a roughly organized wall cloud have came into the NWS. This storm continues to move east just north of the Kansas/Nebraska border, and a second storm that is severe warned near Falls City, NE capable of large hail. A third storm along the warm front that is severe warned is much further east in Iowa, near Adair, that is capable of large hail near quarters in size. This storm is moving in more of a northeast fashion.

It would appear that much of Iowa will see isolated thunderstorms this evening and overnight; the best areas for severe weather are likely to be over areas along/south of I-80. Thunderstorms appear to be forming rapidly near the Iowa/Missouri border and will likely be the start of an MCS that will move over southern and eastern Iowa capable of large hail and damaging winds.

No additional updates are likely this evening as the severe weather threat is playing out similar to forecasted.
