It’ll be a dark and likely stormy night across western Iowa. The National Weather Service in Des Moines reports scattered thunderstorms are forecast to spread from western into central Iowa late tonight (Wednesday), and Thursday morning. The severe weather threat is low, but a few stronger storms could produce hail and gusty winds. Slight chances for more thunderstorms are forecast across parts of northern Iowa late Thursday night into Friday morning and again late Friday night into Saturday morning, once again with a low probability of severe weather.
