This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central Iowa.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight

Rounds of scattered thunderstorms are forecast today. The first

will develop over southwestern Iowa this afternoon and move

tornadoes possible into this evening. The highest risk is in
southern Iowa, roughly south of I-80.

Pockets of heavy rain could also lead to ponding and flooding,
particularly in urban areas. Recent heavy rains will lead to
within bank rises on some area rivers and streams. Minor flooding
of low lying areas may also occur.
