Severe thunderstorms are still possible through 10:00pm in eastern Iowa. Winds now look to be more in the 50-70mph range and the tornado threat has also diminished some. Once the thunderstorms pass, there will be a couple hours of non-thunderstorm 50-60mph wind gusts. #iowa #storm #iawx

Severe thunderstorms are likely between 6pm and 10pm. Damaging winds of 60-80+ mph and embedded tornadoes are the primary threats. Large hail up to 2” in diameter is also possible along and south of I-80. These storms will be moving at over 60 mph, so you will have VERY LITTLE time to seek shelter.
