Rain Moves in Tuesday Night While Severe Storms Move Through the Midwest

The day began with a little cloud cover Tuesday morning, but sunshine was quick to return warming temperatures into the upper 70s and low 80s. Gusty southerly winds through Tuesday evening will keep temperatures in the 70s, and hold overnight lows in the mid 60s.

Strong to severe thunderstorms have quickly developed west of the Mississippi River Tuesday evening, with numerous severe thunderstorm
warnings and even a couple tornado warnings. A Tornado Watch has been issued for much of west-central and central Iowa, Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

Those storms are forming along and ahead of a cold front that will move through Iowa this evening, and then through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin Wednesday morning. By the time the storms arrive they won't be as strong as
they currently are in Iowa and Minnesota, but could produce some heavier downpours during the pre-dawn hours Wednesday. The cold front will push east mid-morning as west winds increase during the afternoon. We'll see mostly cloudy skies at times through Wednesday night, but the majority of the afternoon and evening will remain dry.
