watch approximation outlines shown, the real watches are issued by county
The featured map is a composite of Storm Prediction Center issued watches for the year with tornado watches in red and plotted on top of the severe thunderstorm watches in yellow. This plot shows how almost the entire south and east of Iowa covered by a tornado watch at some point this year. SPC has Iowa in a slight risk today for things other than tornados (wind and hail), so only expect yellow boxes in our area today!
