There was no shortage of interesting weather on Tuesday as shown by the featured map. At 6 PM, a severe thunderstorm watch, an ice storm warning, a severe thunderstorm warning, and a flood watch were all active at the same time in Iowa! In fact, one of the severe thunderstorm warnings was overlapping a winter weather warning. The map also shows the reported air temperature at that time. The severe thunderstorm warning over NW Iowa was with an air temperature near freezing while SE Iowa was near 80 degrees! Over the Midwest, a lot of hail fell over areas near freezing. The instability to support the thunderstorms was above a layer of very cold air near the ground. The active weather continues today with just about everything imaginable happening at once.
