Although most have been sub-severe, at least one in northwest Iowa had some severe (1.25 inch) hail and others with gusty winds of 30-40 mph, as observed near the Iowa/Nebraska border closer to Omaha. As these storms continue to push eastward this morning, they should continue to diminish with time making it so not everyone in the eastern half of the state will see precipitation this morning with the bulk of current activity (as of 4 AM) across northern Iowa, though there are a few showers or storms in parts of east central to southeast Iowa as well. After the lingering showers/storms move out this morning, additional isolated shower/storm development is possible at times, but the bulk of any more pronounced storm development looks to be over far eastern Iowa this afternoon into early evening. A few storms closer to the Iowa/Illinois/Wisconsin border could be strong to severe with strong wind gusts and large hail the primary threats with the strongest storms. Highs today will be in the upper 70s to 80s across the state with winds out of the south to southwest up to 10 to 15 mph, and gusts up to 20 to 25 mph, the highest gusts in far eastern Iowa, though higher gusts are certainly possible with storms. Tonight and beyond: A few showers or non-severe storms may linger into tonight, mainly east, with low temperatures in the 60s. Attention then turns to Tuesday which will bring the next chance for more widespread storms which may be strong to severe along with locally heavy rainfall. Temperatures Tuesday into the end of the week look to remain in the 70s to 80s with drier conditions expected for most Wednesday into Friday. $$
