The National Weather Service says another round of severe weather is expected across the area today (Thursday). Thunderstorms will develop later in the afternoon and sweep across the state in the evening. Large hail, damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes will all be possible. In addition, locally heavy rainfall will once again be possible into the evening. This may lead to an isolated flash flood threat especially in areas hit by heavy rainfall across southwestern Iowa, Wednesday, and if there are repeated rounds of rain over the same areas.
Preliminary storm reports from Wednesday evening and night, indicate quarter-size hail was reported near the Ringgold County town of Tingley, quarter-to golfball-size hail was reported to have fallen for more than 10-minutes near Murray, in Clarke County. Quarter-size hail also fell near Shambaugh, in Page County, and winds gusted up to 58mph near Red Oak, yesterday.

BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) — A man found in a southeast Iowa cornfield near a burning vehicle has been charged with vehicular homicide for the death of a woman whose body also was found nearby. Des Moines County court records say 57-year-old Bradley Wischmeier also is charged with operating under the influence. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Thursday from The Associated Press.
Deputies sent to the scene north of Burlington last week found Wischmeier lying around 20 yards (18 meters) from the blazing vehicle. The records say Wischmeier told deputies that he’d been driving crazily around the field until the vehicle overheated and caught fire. An autopsy has been performed on the woman’s body, but authorities have been unable to confirm her identity.
Wischmeier’s next court date is May 14.
The Iowa Court of Appeals has reversed the invasion of privacy convictions of a priest in Pottawattamie County. Father Paul Monahan, who was the school chaplain for St. Albert Catholic School, was convicted of five counts of invasion of privacy after teenage boys testified he purposely moved back to look at them while they used a public urinal next to him during a track meet in Treynor in April of 2016. Monahan said in his defense that he had several health issues that caused him to need to go to the bathroom frequently. He also testified the health conditions caused him balance issues that led to his movement.
The Iowa Court of Appeals overturned the convictions –saying the prosecution failed to show the boys had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the public urinals. It also says there is limited evidence to show Monahan knowingly viewed the genitals of the five boys and no evidence beyond that to show he was acting for the purpose of arousing or gratifying his sexual desires. Bishop Richard Pates of the Des Moines Catholic Diocese issued a statement saying they are relieved at the court’s decision and anticipate that Monahan will be fully reinstated to the ministry once the appeal process has been completed.
