Weather
In the active pattern that has been present all week long, more areas of showers and thunderstorms will develop across the Corn Belt for Thursday. Of particular interest is a cluster of storms moving across Iowa early Thursday morning. That cluster is being watched for severe weather and may continue as it moves east-southeast through the Midwest. Additional showers and thunderstorms may pop up out ahead of it as well as behind it across the Northern and Central Plains throughout the day.
