October Slight Risk

Posted: 22 Oct 2020 05:45 AM

How is Iowa's weather week going in this lovely year of 2020? We go from a heavy snowfall event to much warmer temperatures today and a chance of severe thunderstorms this afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has portions of eastern Iowa in a "Slight Risk" for severe weather today. The featured chart presents the climatology of such a risk category during the month of October. Today's risk area coincides with the highest frequencies found in the state. The highest values shown are only at about one day per October per year, so these are somewhat rare events.

Voting:
Good = 12
Bad = 1
