Details

Isolated thunderstorms are developing in the Iowa-Nebraska-
Missouri triple point region. There has been a few reports of
funnel clouds in southwestern Iowa this afternoon. These funnel
clouds are not expected to touch down, and if they do, will only
do so for a brief period of time. Winds near 50 MPH may occur with
some of these storms.

We are watching a larger storm complex in eastern Nebraska that
may bring severe winds later this afternoon to northwest Missouri.
