6:30, HOST A U.S. SENATE DEBATE BETWEEN INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN JONI ERNST AND HER DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER THERESA GREENFIELD. YOU CAN WATCH BOTH DEBATES LIVE RIGHT HERE ON KCCI. TIME NOW TO SET IT BACK TO JASON, AND, BUDDY, THOSE STORMS ARE JUST GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER. JASON: THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE STATE, STILL A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. A NEW ONE IS SPREADING ITS WAY TO THE EAST, NEARLY TWO CRESTON AT THIS POINT, AND THEY HAVE ALSO EXPANDED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. YOU CAN SEE THE AREA IN THE PINK. THIS GOES ON TO 1:00 IN THE MORNING. SO LET’S TRACK OUT THESE STORMS FOR YOU. MAKING THEIR WAY INTO ATLANTIC RIGHT NOW, INTO HIGHWAY 59. EAST AT 50 MILES AN HOUR OR SO. WE HAVE GOT AREAS LIKE ELLIOTT, 60 MILE AN HOUR WIND. RIGHT NOW, GRISWOLD AS WELL, AND CUMBERLAND AT 17 MINUTES. SO QUITE A FEW STORMS OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT. THEY HOP AROUND A LITTLE BIT NOW, AND WE LOOK AT SOME OF THEM FOR YOU AND PUT THIS IN MOTION. YOU CAN SEE UP TO THE NORTH BY CAROL, UP TO THE WEST, STILL SOME OF THESE STORMS DEVELOPING AND STRENGTHENING A BIT. STILL SOME CHANCES WE COULD SEE EVEN IN THE NORTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE, SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS. WE HAVE HAD SOME REPORTS ALREADY IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE OF WIND AROUND 60, 70 MILES PER HOUR, SO LET’S HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THOSE. YOU CAN SEE RIGHT OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST, WE HAVE GOT ONE AROUND 55 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS WEST OF RED OAK. WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE JUST OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST. A LOT OF THESE ARE BORDERING THE LINE. AROUND 60, 65 MILES AN HOUR. SO LET’S HEAD BACK OUT AND ZOOM OUT FURTHER, AND LET’S TURN OFF THE REPORTS THAT WE HAVE GOT. AGAIN, THAT ONE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING TO THE WEST UNTIL 11:45. OTHERWISE, THIS WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTO 1:00 A.M., AND THAT IS JUST TO THE WEST OF THE METRO, SO IT DOES NOT INCLUDE POLK COUNTY, THAT IF THEY STAY STRONG AND HEAD TO THE EAST, I CAN IMAGINE THAT COULD EXPAND A BIT. STRONG STORMS CONTINUING. WE HAVE GOT THE WATCH TO THE SOUTH UNTIL 1:00 IN THE MORNING AND THEN THIS UP TOWARDS THE MINNESOTA BORDER UNTIL 1:00 A.M., AS WELL. THE BULK OF THESE STORMS WILL BE CARRYING A DAMAGING WIND THREAT. AS FAR AS THE HAIL, THAT IS A LESSER THREAT, AND ANYTHING TORNADIC WOULD BE LESSER OF A THREAT ALSO. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS PRETTY EXPANSIVE FROM THE CANADIAN BORDER TO KANSAS. THE MOST INTENSE SPOT ON THESE STORMS IS LARGELY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80, SO THAT IS THE AREA HAVE TO WATCH. 72, THE DEW POINT AT 59, SO PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR FOR THE STORMS TO WORK WITH. OTHERWISE, NOT BAD OUT THERE. WE START OFF TOMORROW WITH CLOUDS. THIS WILL LEAVE US WITH SUNSHINE. MIDDLE 50’S, HEADING BACK INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60’S TOMORROW AFTERNOON. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. LIKELY, BREEZY. AS THE STORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE EAST AND STIR TO WEAKEN AS THEY MAKE IT MUCH PAST 35, WE WILL LIKELY HANG ONTO SOME SHOWERS TOMORROW MORNING LARGELY EAST OF I WOULD SAY NEWTON OR SO, AND THAT LINE CONTINUES TO GO BACK INTO WISCONSIN AS WELL AS NEBRASKA, AND THAT WILL LEAVE US WITH CLEAR SKIES. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A MUCH SUNNIER DAY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE 8 DAY FORECAST WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK UP, 79 WEDNESDAY. IT WILL BE BREEZY. AF
