TRACKING: Hot, humid, windy, and sunny after AM storms

1 week ago | kwwl.com | Brandon Libby

This Morning [LEVEL 1/5 SEVERE RISK]: It’ll be a wet start to Friday with widespread rain and thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center declined a severe thunderstorm watch, but some storms could be strong with isolated severe wind gusts and large hail. Heavy downpours could lead to ponding on the roads and the commute will be slower with the rain and lower visibility. Some areas receive over an inch of rain. It’s also a very warm start with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s.

TRACKING: Rain and storms today; dangerous weekend heat

1 week ago | kwwl.com | Brandon Libby

This Morning: It looks to be a damp morning commute as we begin the day with scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder. We remain mild and humid with temps/dew points in the mid to upper 60s despite a light north wind. Today: The system makes a final push through the area as the low tracks overhead and out to the east this evening, bringing its fronts with it. However, that means widespread and occasional rain/storms are expected through the day with mostly cloudy skies.

A swatch of strong storms moved from northwest to southeast through the day yesterday.

Instead, there was a wide range of rainfall totals inside the swatch, but certainly some heavy rainfall in spots.

This Morning: After a pretty wild night of storms, the boundary has been pushed down to near I-80 with a band of heavy rain and storms ongoing along Highway 18 in the north. Elsewhere, it is partly cloudy with temperatures still well into the 60s. Today: A south wind at 5 to 15 mph will help push that boundary to the north today, effectively shoving this morning’s rain to the north. Skies are partly cloudy today with highs in the mid to upper 80s for most, except for some low 80s in the far north.
Rain totals and severe storm recap from Wednesday 6/11 to Thursday 6/12

2 weeks ago | kwwl.com | Brandon Libby

It ended up being a very hot day yesterday where we tied the record high temperature of 96° in Waterloo. This allowed storms, and their cold outflowing air, to become quite strong as they moved in from the west during the evening. A swatch of 60 to 70 mph winds produced damage along the Highway 20 corridor, including Grundy, Black Hawk, Buchanan, and Delaware Counties, as well as the Oelwein area and parts of Tama and Benton Counties.
