This round has the potential to be strong-to-severe especially over parts of northern Iowa where there is a level 2 out of 5 risk. The main threats will be large hail, strong winds, and an isolated tornado can not be ruled out, however the higher chances will be in central and southern Iowa.

This storm is packing a lot of moisture with 1-2″ of rain likely area wide. Some places may see higher amounts especially where any thunderstorms do develop and track.
