Here's where I see the highest tornado threat over the next few hours, red to yellow, from higher to lower. SE IA/NE MO has the best mix of instability and kinematics. The farther NW you go, less instability, but still good kinematics. And tornadoes (albeit weaker, possibly landspout-type tornadoes) possible in more of a "cold-core" type setup around the low pressure center. Severe wind/hail all possible as storms move northeast, still carrying a bit of a tornado threat.
Disclaimer: I'm not a meteorologist. And not surprisingly, this lines up pretty closely to the SPC's convective outlook.
*Edit - I'll add that the IA/MO border region south into NE MO has the best chance at seeing more isolated supercells with highest tornado threat.
In CR the dew point went from upper 30s to 61 in just a few hours. Crazy.
It definitely rained hard there for a few minutes. Don't think the wind was that bad.
Definitely, anything that forms should be north of DSM. DSM is in the dry air now.
Are you saying Des Moines in not in danger of severe weather for the rest of the evening?
Never say never, but the chances look extremely diminished now.
