While the severe weather threat on Monday mostly missed Iowa, nearby states were not as fortunate. NWS St Louis had an extremely busy day with severe weather persisting throughout much of the day. Based on unofficial IEM data, the office issued the most combined Severe Thunderstorm + Tornado + Flash Flood Warnings for a calendar day since at least 1986. The 95 warnings were 15 more than the previous day max on 25 May 2011. Thankfully, a break from the severe weather and heavy rainfall events is currently forecast for the remainder of the week. The only downside will be cool temperatures, which will not be of much help for crops already planted this growing season.
