Strong Storms Predicted for Late in the Day Thursday

The Easter weekend looks like it might be a bit wet. The active weather begins today with a couple of chances for storms, some of which could be strong to severe.

Our weather partners at KCRG TV-9 are watching two rounds of storms that will make their way across Eastern Iowa today. The first round of storms will move in late this morning through the midday hours. Some of the storms this morning could contain some hail. KCRG reports that we will then see a break from the rain in the early afternoon and evening hours.

During that break, dew points will rise, and some humid air will move in. The next storm system will arrive after dark in Eastern Iowa. KCRG reports that these storms, some of which could be strong to severe, will move into Eastern Iowa at around 9 p.m.

The main threat with this round of storms will once again be the potential for large and damaging hail. Strong winds are also possible. The threat of tornadoes with this system appears to be low, according to KCRG. 

The rest of the Easter weekend calls for more chances of rain, including on Easter Sunday.
