Southeast Iowa faces a Slight Risk for severe weather today, with large hail emerging as the primary threat. The First Alert Weather team is monitoring this system closely as it moves through the area. Most of the severe weather activity should remain along and south of Highway 34.
Wednesday Wind Gusts(kcrg)
Wednesday will bring another concern to the forecast with strong wind gusts. Gusty winds near 40mph across the region will increase the risk of rapid fire spread. This is not a day to burn brush or leaves, and residents should exercise caution with any outdoor activities that could spark a fire.
Sunday Wintry Mix(kcrg)
As we move into the late week and weekend, temperatures will cool and become more seasonable for this time of year. This cooldown will bring additional precipitation chances to the region, and some of that precipitation could fall as snow.
