Wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph will be common over western and parts of northern Iowa with a few gusts over 40 mph possible in these areas.

Chances for thunderstorms return to central Iowa later Sunday afternoon or Sunday night into early Tuesday, but there is no strong signal for severe weather. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
