Severe weather is possible this afternoon to evening over much of central Iowa as a boundary tracks across the state. Damaging winds and heavy rain are the primary hazards of concern, with a lower risk for hail and/or a few tornadoes. Stay weather aware today, and have multiple ways to receive warnings, should any be issued!

In addition to the threat for flooding, there is a Level 1 out of 5 risk for severe weather across much of Iowa tonight. Gusty winds and heavy rain are the prominent threats. We could still see some hail (around 1" in diameter) and a tornado or two with storms today.

Special Attention Adair County,

Tornado Watch issued May 18 at 3:49PM CDT until May 18 at 10:00PM CDT by NWS Des Moines IA New event.

05/18/2026

We have yet another round of severe weather slated for our area again today. Storms are expected to begin in Nebraska and Southwest Iowa before organizing into a line and pushing east across the state.

All severe hazards are in play, with isolated instances of very large hail possible in Southwest Iowa. Once storms form into a line, tornadoes and damaging gusts are the main hazards. Large hail up to 1.5" in diameter is still possible.

Timing for the storms is still subject to change due to lingering showers this morning. As of right now, the earliest expected start time is 5pm, with the most likely start time before 8pm.

We will have a mid-day briefing with the NWS office so check back this afternoon for updates and maybe a better defined timing. Now is the time to take action and be prepared for the incoming weather.
