Rain Chances into This Evening

Severe Storm Risk Today

Rain and embedded thunderstorms early this morning will decrease in coverage by midday, though showers may remain more persistent in parts of southwest Minnesota into the afternoon. There is a chance of late afternoon to evening thunderstorms in northwest Iowa, with a low risk of severe weather if storms develop. Smaller streams may see rising water levels, and low-lying/poor drainage areas could see ponding water.

If storms are able to redevelop in northwest Iowa late this afternoon, an isolated strong to severe storm will be possible. The primary threat would be damaging winds up to 60 mph, though an isolated tornado is also possible. If you have outdoor plans, be sure to monitor the weather and have a plan of action should storms develop.
