Sunny and 76 degrees in southern Iowa. I hauled 32 ounces of water for the dog on our walk and he drank it all. Hope I don’t have to carry him home, I only outweigh him by about 25 pounds.

Nobody cares about southern Iowa (Missouri) .

We’re watching your kids at the park

Severe weather is definitely possible/likely. However, the tornadic threat will depend on how far north the warm front makes it. Any storm near/south of the warm front will have much greater tornado potential. As the storms get north of the warm front, they should become elevated and pose more of a very large hail/wind threat (although a non-zero tornado threat). It's just that north of the warm front, storms will lose the surface based instability they need for greater tornado potential. But they will still likely rotate which increases severe potential.

still cold AF here in Madison.

Tornados yes...Hail no.

Don't pull over for a tornado, just outrun it.

Most of the hail was just a few miles to the south. Just got some pea size here.

Will this be at all similar to last week? As in once the front is thru we can expect calm weather? Or a several hour long storm train thru the evening?

The severe stuff going to happen when it's dark out isn't it. That's always fun...

Waiting on my estimate in West Ames also - Did your estimate include siding replacement for the entire side of the house, or just individual broken pieces? Depending on age of siding, I've been hearing some of both.

The front of our house is broken up into 4 different sections. All of our damage is confined to a few strips on the outer wall with our double garage door(shake shingles on the dormer all fine), and our front bedroom with a fairly large window, so there is really not all that much sq footage to replace. Our house is only 6 years old, so I'm not sure how faded everything is. I think we will need to replace all of that because its on the southern exposure where the sun hits the most. All of the other houses that had siding replaced after the derecho had horrible mismatch compared to the old strips. We will shoot for the moon, but in the end it's what the adjuster says. Our contractor wants to be here when the adjuster comes, so hopefully they will be persistent and fight for the most money.
