An Enhanced Risk of severe weather is in place today across parts of western Iowa. Storms are expected to develop late this afternoon across Nebraska and South Dakota before moving into western Iowa this evening and spreading east across the state overnight. The atmosphere will be favorable for severe thunderstorms capable of producing very large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. A few strong tornadoes may be possible across western Iowa this evening if storms can remain isolated early in their development. As storms move east overnight, they are expected to evolve into a larger line of storms with an increasing damaging wind threat while still capable of producing embedded tornadoes. #iawx #newx #sdwx #mnwx #tornado
