It has been a rainy spring so far for Iowa. This April was the 4th wettest for Des Moines. 6.76" of rain fell! #iawx

There is now a Slight Risk in southwest Iowa for Sunday night's storms. Our main concern is for storms on Monday. Stay updated on the forecast and know your severe weather safety plan! #iawx

MiniCOW packs MegaPOWER! Observes birth and ingestion of satellite tornado and Fujiwara effect deflecting tornado. Tornado transitions 2x between clear eye and debris ball. Prelim data from most powerful mobile radar, 1 MegaWatt C-band storm-penetrating miniCOW in Braman, OK 🌪️

An unseasonably cold pattern is favored across most of the central and eastern US end of April into early May. Possible much below normal temperatures and near freezing low temperatures across parts of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region could damage early blooming crops.
