The big weather story this week is the predicted severe weather outbreak arriving this weekend. The featured image is forecasted severe weather threat categories from the Storm Prediction Center for Saturday. Much of Iowa is in the slight risk category. Typically, these fall severe events are conditional on heating of the lower atmosphere, so seeing the sun shine on Saturday would be a bad omen as it would help to fuel thunderstorms later in the afternoon.
