The Severe Storms Prediction Center in Norman, OK., has placed most of Iowa under risk for severe storms today. Atlantic, Carroll, Creston and Council Bluffs, have a slight risk of severe weather. Eastern Iowa (Dubuque, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Burlington) are under a moderate risk. The greatest threat appears to be strong winds and hail for our area, and a slight risk for tornadoes in eastern Iowa.  Stay tuned to KJAN for any severe weather developments. There are currently NO watches or warnings in effect for the immediate listening area, but a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 11-a.m. today for northwest Iowa, including Monona County.
