7:30pm Update: A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for Whiteside County until 8:30pm. Thunderstorms intensified as they moved out of Iowa into Whiteside county this evening producing 60 mph wind gusts near Garden Plain. This storm is currently moving east around 40mph to 45mph and may continue to produce gusty winds as well as quarter sized hail.
A cluster of thunderstorms formed near Des Moines, IA earlier this afternoon and have since quickly raced east producing damaging wind gusts near 80 mph across parts of Iowa, Benton and Linn counties in Iowa. The storm isn't as strong as it was previous, however, it still continues to produce wind gusts of 60 mph as it's now east and north of Cedar Rapids. The storm is currently moving to the east - slight north of east - and will likely cross over near the Carroll/Jo Daviess county line around 7pm. These storms will continue to move into an unstable environment so the threat for strong storms exists through the evening. Updates will continue here as needed through the evening and overnight.
