The Storm Prediction Center issues Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm watches. The featured chart displays the number of watches issued for the year to date period since 1997 and the percentage of total watches that have some coverage over Iowa. It has been rather quiet for severe weather activity nationwide, but that looks to change starting today with a number of rounds of severe weather expected over the coming days.
