High Risk Area Going to Be Issued For Parts of NE, SD, and Western IA

I believe this warrent attention after the Parkersburg, IA EF-5 tornado. The severe weather season looks rough for these areas too this year, about as active as it was here earlier.

Here's the write-up from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC):
