4/25 - 4:30pm - Storms in the West Coming This Way

A squall line of severe storms has formed this afternoon from Iowa down to Northern Texas. While the storms are severe, and even tornadic in Iowa, these are expected to weaken quite a bit before they reach us. The Balloon Glow tonight looks bleak due to the winds ahead of these storms.

The storms will give way to a semi-warm weekend and a cooler start to the week. Wednesday through Friday could harbor some severe weather as stated by the SPC. The GFS also verifies that statement with warm temperatures and precipitation forecast. This is the time of year when we really need to watch out for severe outbreaks like this. Things are fired up in the Plains, but those conditions could shift to this corridor by next week. We'll keep an eye on it.
