Severe storm chances return over northern Iowa again Monday night into early Tuesday morning. Damaging winds will be the primary threat, although hail, heavy rainfall and even a brief tornado can't be rule out, especially with initial storms. #iawx

Much of Iowa has had wet weather over the past month. First map shows 30-day precip estimates. Second map shows precip departures from normal. Soil moisture is now much above normal in many areas. Future heavy rainfall may result in higher than normal flooding risk. #iawx

Funnel over the west Des Moines metro. This has a very little chance to touch the ground and is expected to be short lived. The chance for any funnels will end soon as daytime heating and sunset arrive.
