With 2014 rapidly coming to a close, it is a good time to start recapping the year that was. The featured chart displays the year to date accumulated number of Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado warnings issued by the NWS for the United States. This year's accumulation looks remarkably like last years with both years on the lowest end of the past 12 years. There is a caveat to this chart as warning methodologies have changed over this time period. There are chances of more severe weather this year, but not for Iowa.
