Severe weather was not an uncommon sight for the central and western Corn Belt over the past 24 hours, but unfortunately there is a lot more to come. Large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes have been reported since yesterday morning in significant parts of Nebraska, far northeastern Kansas, northern Missouri, southern Minnesota, and scattered areas of Iowa. Four separate severe thunderstorm watches remained in effect around daybreak on this Thursday as strong thunderstorms rolled across far eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, northeastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota. Radar is suggesting that rains in any area hit with the severe weather were quite heavy, with localized totals in excess of two or even three inches. The next 48 hours is going to feature more of the same, which likely will make our current time frame one of the worst severe weather outbreaks that the Corn Belt sees this year. The Storm Prediction Center has put northern and eastern Iowa, southern Minnesota, southwestern Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and northwestern Indiana in a “moderate” risk of severe weather over the next 24 hours, with eastern Iowa, northeastern Missouri and points eastward through Ohio already put in a “moderate” risk for tomorrow/tomorrow night as well.
Look for this activity to be a lot like what we saw overnight, with hail and high winds being the biggest problem but there will be tornadoes to deal with as well. Like overnight, the strongest of the storms will feature locally heavy rains of two to three inches or even more. We should be able to calm things down for Saturday, and it still looks like this current event will finally bring to an end the “deluges” of rain that have plagued large parts of the Corn Belt so far in this growing season. Next week will be drier but not totally dry; western and northwestern parts of the region will probably be seeing rain again on Sunday. Yesterday was one of the few “summer-like” days seen in the Midwest this year, but there is more of that to come as well. Today’s temperatures will be similar to yesterday, but a touch cooler in most spots tomorrow and especially for the weekend. Heat will rebuild next week though, with Monday through Thursday being an especially warm time period for especially western parts of the region.
