storm

A rare dust storm hit parts of NW Iowa hard on Thursday.

You won't believe how long the world's longest lightning strike is!

Storm chasing isn't just something some people do for fun, it can be a serious job, too.

What a crazy day of weather on Wednesday, December 15th. We went from wearing shorts and T-shirts in Mid-December to bundling up in winter gear in just a matter of hours.

One person is dead after their semi-trailer.

Severe storms that rolled through earlier this week have ended the harvest for an Eastern Iowa sweet corn farm.

It's the only large-scale twister ever to hit the state in October.

Well, it turns out that it's actually Severe Weather Awareness Week and if you're looking to chase some awesome storms, do I have an idea for you. While this is not an official "storm chasing" certification this could be the next best thing, especially in Northeastern Iowa. It's pretty simple to be a storm spotter in Iowa.

The warning begins at 1 AM Monday and continues until 4 PM Monday. (see warning map below) From the National Weather Service in Des Moines:  Northern Iowa will see snow accumulations top 6 inches with areas along portions of the Iowa/Minnesota border around 8 to 9 inches...

**Updated Friday 3/12 at 5 AM** Mother Nature can be cruel. After setting record high temperatures in parts of Iowa on both Tuesday and Wednesday, there’s a chance that the state could get drilled by Winter Weather early next week…seriously...
