After a punishing year of severe weather in 2011, this year appears to be attempting a repeat. The Storm Prediction Center has a very large area outlined for a moderate risk of severe weather today and into Saturday morning. This storm closely follows a deadly storm system on Wednesday that brought tornadoes to Kansas, Illinois and other states. Iowa will miss the severe weather and perhaps get a bit of snow.

Updated the feature graphic to show the 11:30 AM outlook with the high risk.
