    Locations Affected

  • Far Northwest Iowa

  • Severe Thunderstorm Watch #0639 map

    Severe Thunderstorm Watch Summary

    Initial supercells will likely pose a threat for large hail up to 2 inches in diameter. A tornado or two may also occur with any sustained supercell, especially if thunderstorms can remain at least semi-discrete through early evening as low-level shear increases. Otherwise, a bowing cluster is expected to eventually develop and pose a greater threat for severe/damaging winds up to 70-80 mph as it tracks generally eastward across southeast South Dakota/northeast Nebraska and vicinity.

    Severe Weather Threats

  • Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 80 mph possible
  • Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible
  • A tornado or two possible
