SPC Day 2 Wind Outlook

Posted: 09 Aug 2021 02:38 PM

Most Iowans need not be reminded that tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the 2020 Derecho! Sadly, it appears that Mother Nature is gearing up to provide a repeat performance, but hopefully not near the scale nor magnitude of the 10 August 2020 storm. The featured map presents the "Day 2" convective outlook from the Storm Prediction Center for damaging wind probabilities with an area of 30% hatched probabilities (hatching implies 75 MPH winds and higher). Ample energy will be present in the atmosphere thanks to very hot and humid conditions that have overspread the area today. It remains to be seen how this event will play out as thunderstorms developing later today and overnight will mess with the environmental available for severe storms on Tuesday.
