Unlike the past two years, the amount of severe weather we have seen in Iowa so far this year has been more active. The featured chart displays the number of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings issued by NWS Des Moines for the year to date period each year. This year's totals is the largest since 2006. A big caveat is that the mechanism for issuing warnings has changed over the years. Setting that aside, there are some limited chances of severe weather in Iowa over the holiday weekend, but the most significant storms look to stay to our south, especially on Saturday.
