(Regional News) – Storms that formed in parts of western Iowa early Sunday afternoon moved east with strong winds and incredibly large hail. The warnings began to pop for Crawford, Carroll, Greene and Story Counties at around 1-p.m., Sunday. Photos show power lines down in the Story County town of Collins at around 3:45-p.m. Tennis ball size hail was observed in Grinnell, and parts of Marshall County.
A semi-truck driver was hurt after strong winds blew their truck over on Interstate 80 westbound east of Grinnell Sunday. The Iowa State Patrol said the semi-truck toppled over at 5:05 p.m. The semi-truck was upright a couple of hours later, but it did cause traffic backups on I-80. State Patrol said the driver had minor injuries.
A second set of storms formed in southwest Iowa at around 4:30-p.m., and spread to the northeast, bringing large hail and reports of a tornado eight-miles west/northwest of Hamburg a little after 8-p.m. Hail the size of tennis balls reported near Bridgewater damaged the siding on homes.
Marshall County S/O
Collins in Story County
Quarter-to half-dollar size hail fell fell elsewhere in southwest Iowa. See a timeline of storm reports and related damage, relayed by the National Weather Service, on the kjan.com Weather page.

(Radio Iowa) – Warmer weather is finally here and Iowans who love to fish are getting out on — or beside — their favorite bodies of water, casting lines and seeing what they can catch. Nate Carr, a state D-N-R conservation officer from Eldora, says besides your fishing pole and the tackle box, there’s one other important thing you should bring along. “If you’re 16 or older and you’re fishing in public water, you’re required to have a fishing license,” Carr says.
“All that goes to help promote and manage the fisheries that we do have. There’s a lot of work from our fisheries bureau that goes towards surveying lakes, trying to understand how our population is doing, and how to best manage that body of water.” Fishing regulations do change from year to year, and Carr says you’ll want to keep up or risk getting a fine.
“Depending on where you’re fishing, length limits and daily limits, you may see some differences whether you’re fishing in the river or a lake,” Carr says. “So it’s a good idea to find yourself a fishing reg booklet for 2023.” He says you don’t need to look far to get the full rundown of state fishing regulations. “Honestly, one of the easiest ways to come across that is, just to go on our website — iowadnr.gov — and you can search ‘fishing regs’ and download a copy to your phone or your laptop or whatever you have handy,” he says.
The annual Iowa Free Fishing Weekend is scheduled for June 2nd through the 4th.
Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. North wind around 9 mph.
Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 53. North northeast wind around 6 mph becoming east after midnight.
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. East southeast wind 6 to 10 mph.
Tuesday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 55. East southeast wind around 11 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Wednesday: A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Thursday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 77. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
Sunday’s High in Atlantic was 85. Our Low 56. We received .22” rain overnight Sunday into early this morning. Last year on this date the High in Atlantic was 68 and the Low was 56. The Record High on this date was 95 in 1895. The Record Low was 25 in 1980.
Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller reached a milestone with 15-3 win over Ohio State on Saturday. It was Heller’s 1,000th career victory. He is in his 36th season as a head coach in a career that began at Upper Iowa and has also included stops at Northern Iowa and Indiana State.
Heller knew as a 12-year-old he wanted to be a coach.
Heller says his career has flown by.
Heller became the head coach at Upper Iowa in 1988, two years after his playing career with the Peacocks ended.
The Hawkeyes are 10-7 in the Big Ten and 34-12 overall. They lost to Ohio State on Sunday, 2-5, and a chance to sweep the series.
(Radio Iowa) – South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has taken one last swing through Iowa before announcing he’s running for the G-O-P’s next presidential nomination. Scott spoke to about 50 people in Waukee this weekend, promising he’s comfortable in conflict and has a stiff enough spine to take on competitors. “Why are you considering running for president?” a woman in the crowd asked. “I think it’s my responsibility to restore hope, create opportunities and protect the America we love…That’s why I’ve decided to make an announcement on May 22nd.”
Scott began the hour-long event by sharing with his life story and providing his list of key American values. “Hard work does pay off…If you’re able bodied, you work. If you take out a loan, you pay it back,” Scott said. “…We just need to follow some common sense as Americans and if we do so, we’ll find ourselves emerging into another American century.” The most enthusiastic crowd response came when Scott described fentanyl as an existential threat to the country. Beyond his support of a wall along the border, Scott is co-sponsoring a bill to hire more border patrol agents and what he describes as surveillance technology that could detect fentanyl.
“The Mexican cartels trafficking drugs across our border must to cease to exist. They have to go away,” Scott said, to applause. “My legislation freezes their assets and we should figure out a way to target their manufacturing locations.” Scott has been a U.S. Senator since 2013 and he started visiting Iowa in 2014, speaking at G-O-P fundraisers and alongside Iowa Republican running for office.
“This probably is my 15th or 16th trip to Iowa,” Scott said. Scott tweeted after Saturday’s event, saying it’s time for Republicans to take back the White House and that work starts now.
