(Radio Iowa) – Iowans living in the Missouri River basin likely won’t have to worry much about flooding this year, as drought appears much more likely. Kevin Low, a hydrologist in the Missouri Basin River Forecast Center, says the outlook for this spring remains warm and dry. “Over the next three months, warmer-than-normal temperatures are likely over the entire basin,” Low says. “Regarding precipitation over the next three months, odds favor below-normal precipitation in the west, but equal chance over the remainder of the basin.”
Low says that warm and dry forecast carries on into the summer months. “Chances lean toward warmer-than-normal temperatures over the entire basin during the months of July, August and September,” Low says. “The precipitation outlook suggests that the entire Missouri River basin is likely to receive less-than-normal precipitation during the summer months.” Low says that all translates into very low flood potential across western Iowa and for the northern half of the river’s basin. “Flood potential for April, May and June is pretty much limited to the lower portion of the basin, including southeastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas, and across the state of Missouri,” Low says. “This is not unusual, in fact, we’ve already experienced three or four rounds of flooding since January in the lower basin.”
Multiple rounds of historic flooding hit parts of western Iowa in 2019. It’s the reverse now, as the latest report from the U-S Drought Monitor shows parts of western Iowa ranging from moderate to extreme drought.

(Radio Iowa) – A small tornado has been confirmed with the storm that hit Cedar Rapids Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, one person suffered minor injuries when the tornado briefly hit Summit View Village, a mobile home park on the city’s southwest side around 9:15 p-m. Firefighters reported damage to at least two trailer homes, one of which had the roof torn off.
Officials from the National Weather Service determined that the E-F-zero tornado briefly touched down in Cedar Rapids. It was on the ground for about one-half mile before dissipating above a corn field. The survey team estimated maximum winds were around 85 miles-an-hour.
An investigation into what caused damage to homes in Cedar Rapids Wednesday night is underway, and officials think it may have been a tornado. KCRG TV reports the damage occurred at around 8:30-p.m., and resulted in injuries to a child. The weather phenomenon affected the Summit View Mobile Home Park. Residents say the roof of one mobile home was partially torn off, and windows in another home were blown out.
According to KGAN TV, one resident called 911 to report that their daughter had been cut by flying glass.
