Hi folks,
The WC is showing a tornado history from Jan to May. So, the following statement is from AccuWeather.com
Dangerous Thunderstorms Threaten Plains through Tonight
Jun 1, 2010; 5:32 PM ET
A cold front sweeping across the northern Plains will spark dangerous thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes, very large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain through the early part of tonight.
An area from Nebraska into northern Missouri, Iowa and southern Minnesota, southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois and western Michigan will be at risk for these thunderstorms. Later tonight, the threat will shift eastward into parts of Michigan and northern Illinois.
Omaha, Neb., Des Moines, Iowa, Madison, Wis., and Chicago, Ill., are among the cities at risk. People potentially in the path of these thunderstorms should be ready to seek shelter immediately if a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning is issued for their local area.
Hail up to or larger than the size of golf balls will be possible with these thunderstorms. If possible, vehicles should be parked in a garage well before the thunderstorms arrive to avoid damage.
Torrential downpours from the storms could also lead to flash flooding with low-lying and poor drainage areas being most susceptible. Remember never to drive across a road covered with water.
Tornadoes have been reported today in O'Brien and Ringgold counties in Iowa, as well as in Cass, Cuming and Burt counties in Nebraska.
As of 7:15 p.m. EDT, multiple hail reports were clustered across southern South Dakota, central and eastern Nebraska, northeastern Kansas, southern Minnesota and northwestern Iowa. The largest fell in northeastern Iowa with hail stones measuring 2.8 inches six miles west of Craig.
