First Day 2 Slight of 2020

Posted: 18 Mar 2020 05:25 AM

Severe Weather Awareness Week is not until next week in Iowa, but our first bout with spring time storms is forecast for tomorrow. The Storm Prediction Center has much of Iowa forecast for a "Slight Risk" (SLGT) on Thursday making for the first such risk level this year as shown by the featured calendar. The days shown in green as TSTM are a lesser risk category known as "General Thunderstorms". These early spring season events tend to be limited by the amount of instability that can build in the atmosphere, so we shall see how much sunshine we receive before storms fire.
