Evening Severe Discussion

HIGH TORNADO THREAT TO PERSIST THIS EVENING IN EASTERN IOWA, EASTERN MINASOTA, WESTERN WISCONSON, AND WESTERN ILINOIS. As was feared earlier today, storms have fired in Iowa and Minnasota this afternoon. So far they have only been isolated super cells, but some major damage reports have come out of them. More storms are expected to develop in this area this evening, as the stronger streak of wind shear continues to affect that area. Tornadoes, hail, and damaging straight line winds will continue to be possible through 3z in eastern MN, eastern IA, and getting into western WI and IL. Later this evening, this activity will likely organize into a MCS, or complex of storms with a continued damaging wind threat through the night as they blast east through Wisconson and northern Illinois through late this evening. I will post a forecast for areas farther SW later, but right now I am paying close attention to a tornado in NE Iowa which has and still is doing heavy damage.
