Slight Risk Thursday

There is a slight risk for Severe Weather in Iowa for Thursday. This is mainly for parts of Iowa south of a line from Mason City to Davenport. The threats will be large hail and damaging winds. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out but is unlikely. Currently this morning a decaying MCS is moving through the state dumping heavy amounts of rain in SW Iowa where Flash Flood Warnings are in effect. RAGBRAI riders heading to North Liberty will get wet today with these light to moderate rain showers as they progress eastward. With the cloudiness across the state, temperatures will be kept down and that could limit the amount of Severe weather that could occur today. So another look will be needed later on depending on how long it stays cloudy.
