Also looks like a nasty nasty gorilla fart coming into Kansas.

We had a house party the night before a home football game (Criner and Walden eras so we sucked and just went to drink) and we were hanging pretty bad the next moring and we just mixed up some left over liquor and we all tasted it first, We had to give it a name so one guy just said "gorilla fart" out of the blue so we ran with it.
I would say risk is equal but with the power of hindsight I would say logic dictates this event will be lesser. Different type of setup today.
A line of storms are developing in NE along the Missouri River and then just west of there. Will there be 2 rounds of storms with supercells storms first then the cold front storms?
From what I read, the tornado risk is lower today. The best chance for twisters will be any cells that can form ahead of an advancing cold front. The cold front will eventually overtake these cells, leading to a line of storms. The main risk with the line will be large hail and winds. I think by the time the storms make it to central IA later tonight, it will be mostly linear storms with little tornado risk.
That's my amateur take! @wxman1 can certainly provide much more accurate info and more details!
Gorilla Fart is not to be confused with Gorilla glue, correct.
Depends on where you are but that would be the usual pattern for a setup like today.
What if it's a Gorilla Shart?
Ok, back to weather. What's it looking like for Central Iowa the remainder of Tuesday?
Big hail (possible tennis balls) working SW to NE from SW IA. Hail is definitely going to be the major problem today imo.

that Red Oak cell is starting to build pretty big and has tried rotating a couple of times. Keep an eye on that one
Yep, looks like it already produced a tornado warning. Are there any spotters tracking it right now?
It’s really funny to me to see the schools that let out early when the storms were forecasted after 5 pm for the central Iowa area.
