It has been a very active week for severe weather over Iowa. While Thursday was a very welcome break from the rough weather this week, strong thunderstorms are very likely Friday with eastern Iowa that primary target for the worst of the storms. The featured chart presents the daily number of combined Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings issued by the National Weather Service for counties within Iowa. It is likely that four days for this week will have a higher total of such warnings than any previous day so far this year!

Updated: The featured chart was regenerated to show the Friday total of 74 warnings.
