00:00Good afternoon from Davenport, Iowa, where we are tracking a significant severe weather threat
00:05this afternoon into the evening hours here in Iowa. We're watching for storms to develop
00:11later this afternoon down near Kansas City before eventually moving to the northeast here into Iowa
00:18where all severe hazards risk will set up and these supercells, if they move into this area,
00:24will be capable of large damaging hail, strong winds, and even long track tornadoes.
00:31Now these storms will likely be moving quite quickly across the midwest here later this afternoon.
00:37They'll move through Iowa and then move into northwestern Illinois and southern Wisconsin,
00:42again posing that risk for those all hazards. So we'll be tracking the storms here live in Iowa
00:48this afternoon starting here in the next few hours watching for those storms to develop
00:52in an open clear area off to the southwest of this location here in Davenport, Iowa.
00:58We've had rain, real heavy rain this morning across Iowa off to the west and northwest
01:03towards Des Moines. I spent the night near Marshalltown, Iowa last night.
01:10We had heavy rain last night and then all this morning.
01:12But that rain is starting to move out of the area here. You can see sun starting to poke through
01:17here,
01:17starting to clear up a little bit here, but something much clearer down to the southwest.
01:21And that is going to aid in the destabilization of the environment here to bring that juice,
01:27that warmth, that heat from the sun, will help destabilize things
01:31and make the potential for those storms later this afternoon.
