Iowa's first real taste of severe weather season arrived on Tuesday with a powerful low pressure system pushing through the state late in the afternoon. Numerous frontal boundaries were present over southern Iowa late Tuesday afternoon and helped to spin up some brief tornadoes. The featured image from Tyler Love of Creston shows the photogenic tornado on the northwest side of town. Major temperature changes are in store with a return to winter like conditions for the remainder of the week.
