DIED. STORMS HAVE BEEN VERY PULSY DROPPING BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND
ANYWHERE FROM PEA TO QUARTER SIZED HAIL. STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO

A SHORTWAVE WILL PASS THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT AND BRUSH
NORTHERN AND POSSIBLY CENTRAL IOWA IOWA. THIS WILL BE COUPLED WITH
A SURFACE LOW AND TROUGH TRAVERSING THE STATE OVERNIGHT. FORCING IS
