With the late morning update yesterday, the Storm Prediction Center had a 10% tornado risk analyzed over parts of Iowa for Wednesday. Thankfully, only a few brief tornadoes were reported near Carroll. The 10% risk threshold only happens a few times each year as highlighted by the featured plot. The map presents the average yearly frequency of having a 10% risk threshold issued. The values for Iowa are in the 1 to 3 days per year range. Kind of interesting to see the highest frequencies show up in the eastern portions of the traditional "Tornado Alley".
