The risk for severe weather is a big concern for your Monday, with all the ingredients coming together to pose that threat this afternoon and evening. Some especially intense wind gusts are possible...

we were so literally on the edge I could see it black to the south, got some sprinkles and a rainbow out of it but not much for rain. The storm the morning before though took down a number of branches in the neighborhood. I was surprised it wasn't severe warned. It woke me and I watched the trees for a while (530am) and it looked dicey.
Timing is looking like around 4-5pm. Maybe earlier, maybe later, but it looks like this morning is out of the question now.
Don't forget crazy aggressive honey bees after any and all food or drink with any kind of fragrance. Don't take a sip from that can or bottle without looking first!
I'm going to be so pissed if I lose power tonight while playing NCAA 25
Going to be interesting to see where things develop. I've been watching forecasts and apps and seen everything from nothing in DM to a pretty decent cell passing through around 6pm
Power is going out in Ankeny already, but it's not storm related. Folks who participate in Mid American's energy savings program are having their AC turned off periodically between 2-5pm today.
I forgot I signed up for that - just cancelled - it's 76 upstairs where my pregnant wife's office is. Less than ideal.
Kinda looks the same, minus the area now in moderate risk. Last map before still had Ames and Des Moines in the slight risk.
