Multiple rounds of severe storms for central Iowa Tuesday
Two rounds of severe thunderstorms impacted Central Iowa on Tuesday. The first round arrived with a complex of storms that moved into Western Iowa from Nebraska after 1 AM. This first round crossed the Metro around 2:45 AM.
The second round of severe storms developed from storms that formed near Sioux Falls around 4 AM this morning. That storm hit the Des Moines Metro around 9:45 AM and progressed across Southeast Iowa through late morning.
Rainfall overnight Monday through 7 AM Tuesday were not overly impressive, as the storm system moved quickly across the state. All totals were under 1 inch. Here are some of the 7 AM Rainfall Totals:
- Clive 0.94″
- Adel 0.92″
- Norwalk 0.85″
- Des Moines Airport 0.62″
- Waukee 0.56″
- Osceola 0.48″
- Ottumwa 0.38″
- Ames 0.25″
These two rounds of storms will not be the last to move through Iowa. An Enhanced risk area for severe storms is already highlighted for Central Iowa for late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning.
Storms will begin to develop along a warm front that stretches from eastern Nebraska across Iowa in the early morning hours of Wednesday.
