December Tornado Warnings

Posted: 23 Dec 2021 06:20 AM

It has been over a week now since the epic events of two Wednesday's ago. The National Weather Service is now up to 42 tornadoes within Iowa that day, which is the largest single day outbreak on record. This event just continues to boggle the mind that this happened during December! The featured chart presents the number of Tornado Warnings issued within Iowa by month since 1986. Again, just crazy to see 36 warnings happening this month and then comparing that to just one total for all previous Decembers and for that total to tie the previous monthly maximum this year during July. May we live in interesting times!
