2015 Tornado Watches

Posted: 19 Aug 2015 04:12 AM

A Tornado Watch was issued Tuesday afternoon for portions of eastern Iowa. Thankfully, only a possible brief and weak tornado has been reported so far in Iowa. For some counties in northeastern Iowa, this was the first tornado watch of the season. The featured map displays the number of Tornado Watches issued by county so far this year. There are nine counties shown without a watch this year! The highest totals are found in southeastern Iowa with Scott and Des Moines county at seven. You can generate this map online for other warning types, other states, and even other WFOs in the country.
