Area to Watch
This afternoon all eyes will be on eastern Iowa. Right now there are some cumulus clouds developing, but still a little sunshine poking through. If our severe weather is to come to fruition, it will likely develop somewhere along or west of the Mississippi River and move rapidly (NE around 50 mph) across the Stateline. A Tornado Watch has been issued and is in effect until 6pm in eastern sections of the Dakotas and northern Minnesota. If thunderstorms start developing this afternoon in eastern Iowa, this will be a tell tale sign that we are in for a rough night. -ADAM

Any expectation at this time that a tornado watch will be issued for our area later this afternoon?
We'll have to see what the threat is at that time. It appears to us that we're more in line for a wind event, which would be a storm watch...Stay tuned. -ERIC
Yeah it seems like the sun isn't going to stay out long enough for a major event to happen. It was out good this morning and then a little while for about an hour at 11 now its gone again. Wouldn't we have to have a long period of sun to even have a major event?
no
You dont have to be so harsh, Justin! lol. Well this storm is quite strong. Some thing WILL happen. Its just a matter of where. Maybe not a tornado, but definitely strong winds. As they said, the main threat will be straight line winds. But yea... be safe. I think we might be in for one hell of a night...
Okay mr smartypants
lol justin... actually you know more than me. you proved that to me a few weeks ago with that trivia stuff.
do you think it will hit or break aprart before it gets here?? THANKS
new storms developing NW of Davenport, tracking NE. -ERIC
this storm looks like it is going to weaken. do you think it will ?
do you think it will hit belvidere or not
Do you think it will hit rockford? Because of the way the storm is directing. the one that is forming NW of Davenport looks like it will move away from our area and not hit rockford.
The one that is in the Kansas City area, do you think that might have a chance of hitting us?
The only storms that have a chance of making it to Rockford are the ones that are SW of the QC area. The dryline/cold front combo is still well west...into East-Central IA. That's why the Tornado Watch hasn't been canceled for anyone out there yet.
As I posted above in the blog, our models are still developing some storms through 10pm...so while there's not much out there now (other than a pretty nice cell WSW of DVN) we can't give out the all-clear yet. -ERIC
