Neola, IA likely just took a direct hit from a tornado. Also, RadarScope appears to be having issues, which is rather unfortunate.

What's with all the radar software issues lately? Last Friday it was GR Level 3 that wouldn't update Ft. Campbell or Evansville (after Paducah went down entirely); but they worked on RadarScope.

There are tornado warnings all up and down this destructive line plowing through western Iowa and northwest Missouri. Another historic December severe weather outbreak unfolding less than a week away from the previous one.

Well, let's at least hope that there's fewer deaths at least from today's event than from Friday's (KNOCK ON WOOD!).

I'm not sure. This stuff happens. It's just really unfortunate timing.

Awful. Those fires are going to be impossible to control.

Watch coming right up to my western doorstep, although header doesn't mention WI, lol.

There's an ugly-looking TDS north of Exira, IA.

Latest HRRR shows the line breaking up a bit into potentially semi-discrete supercells over eastern Iowa in a couple hours, with some strong UH tracks.

Multiple debris signatures.

That would be the worst-case scenario for the event, so hopefully not.

Legit discrete supercell west of Ottawa, Kansas right now, although only a severe thunderstorm warning on it.

What’s the thoughts on the cell in Worth, MO. About to be crossing into southern Iowa. 134mph winds
