Another day, another round of strong winds for large portions of the Iowa continues this afternoon. As a strong low pressure system north of the area slowly pulls away, winds across much of the NW half of the state will be strong and gusty.
Northern sites have seen largely periodic SW sustained winds to 30 mph and gusts in excess of 40 mph thus far. Winds have been a bit less vigorous down into central Iowa, but remain strong with sustained SW winds 25 to 30 mph and gusts to around 40 mph being seen.
The strong and gusty conditions will last through much of the remainder of the afternoon/evening, easing around and after sunset. Winds will also slowly shift out of the W.

(Audubon, Iowa) – The owner of a dog grooming business in rural Audubon said on social media this (Friday) morning, that her day did not get off to a good start. Risa Rugaard, owner of In The Dog House Boarding and Grooming, said “We had quite a bit of damage,” from the storms that blew through at around 6:30-a.m.
The event happened “really quick and really loud.” The roof of she and her husband Kevin’s business was torn-off and tossed about, but neither Risa nor any of the animals were injured. There were no warnings issued for Audubon County. The whole thing took her and Kevin by surprise.

The wind event apparently took on a straight-line through their property.
It was there and gone quickly, but during the time it occurred, the roof damage the wind caused was extensive, and it’s unclear how long it will take to fix. Adding insult to injury, was the rain that was falling inside the building, with the roof having been peeled away. The couple have owned the dog grooming and boarding business for three-years (2019). Risa has been grooming animals for more than 30-years.
