Nope, still there

That is nuts. Although we are supposed to get snow overnight as well so clearly atmosphere going through some *things* today.

That time of the month I guess?

Misogyny is lame.

Metro schools need to let out early. Hopefully its a bust here, but dismissing at the normal time during the heart of this seems like a very bad idea.

I was *this close* to making a menopause joke.

It's really impressive, honestly. Some of the loops now are showing things like specific supercell areas. Saw a projection for a major one near Little Rock - curious to see if that pans out.

Southern Iowa starting to light up

There are storms firing around the Iowa-Missouri border right now. One thing I'm not clear on...are we looking at potentially multiple rounds, or will this be it?

Two rounds.

Ditto for Ankeny School District. If a tornado hits while kids are being let out of school, there will be hell to pay.

 

[awd4cy]

Two rounds.

If you are in the location of the first round, will that reduce the severe potential of the second?

 

[jsb]

It’s real gross outside in Des Moines.

I feel that's usually how it works but this one seems to have a lot of juice so may not matter...

 

[enisthemenace]

We are on our way to Sioux City from DSM. When we left DSM, it was 65 and I see it’s around 75 now. We just went though Missouri Valley on I-29 and it’s 45 here.

 

[Al_4_State]

If it stays cloudy, mild, and rainy all day that really lowers the odds of a severe storm, right? No sign of the sun or any stop in the drizzle up on the MN border

First tornado warning just issued in Southern Iowa.

 

[Cyientist]

There were 3 mallard ducks perched on my neighbors roof in Ankeny. Take that for what it is worth.
