IOWA – A severe weather system could bring large hail and tornadoes to many across the state today. The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has issued a moderate risk, or 4 out of 5 on its scale, for areas mainly north of Highway 20. The rest of Iowa is under a conditional enhanced risk, meaning storms will be very scattered or may not develop at all, but if they do, they could have a strong tornado and hail in excess of two inches in diameter. The threat is expected mainly in the late afternoon into the evening.
