The National Weather Service says another round of severe weather is expected across the area today (Thursday). Thunderstorms will develop later in the afternoon and sweep across the state in the evening. Large hail, damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes will all be possible. In addition, locally heavy rainfall will once again be possible into the evening. This may lead to an isolated flash flood threat especially in areas hit by heavy rainfall across southwestern Iowa, Wednesday, and if there are repeated rounds of rain over the same areas.

Preliminary storm reports from Wednesday evening and night, indicate quarter-size hail was reported near the Ringgold County town of Tingley, quarter-to golfball-size hail was reported to have fallen for more than 10-minutes near Murray, in Clarke County. Quarter-size hail also fell near Shambaugh, in Page County, and winds gusted up to 58mph near Red Oak, yesterday.
