Local 5 News is tracking the latest Tornado Watch, Tornado Warning and Severe Thunderstorm Warning alerts in Iowa for May 21, 2024.

The next line of strong to severe storms enters Iowa's western counties between 2 and 3 p.m., lines up along I-35 between 4 and 5 p.m. and exits the state's eastern counties between 6 and 7 p.m. All severe hazards are possible including a few strong tornadoes, hail in excess of 2" in diameter, winds up to 80 mph and pockets of 3-5" rain totals, which does include what has fallen in the last 24 hours.

There is a chance that Tuesday morning's activity could inhibit this afternoon's potential, but err on the side of caution.
