![]() While there is a tornado potential in Iowa, this potential will be lower as storms will form into one big line, making Iowa’s threat a damaging wind threat. Storms will initiate out in Nebraska after 5 pm, and this is where the greatest tornado potential will be. Severe weather will be likely from Nebraska, northern Kansas, Iowa, northern Missouri, and into Illinois.
