There will be a chance (30%) for scattered thunderstorms developing and moving across the area this afternoon and tonight. A few of these storms may be strong to severe, but confidence remains low on the coverage of the severe potential at this time. There is a Marginal Risk, or level 1 out of 5 potential for severe weather across portions of eastern Iowa into northeast Missouri and far western Illinois this afternoon.
