Strong Winds, Large Hail Possible Friday Afternoon, Evening Across Iowa

The first thunderstorm of the season is expected to bring severe weather to Iowa this (Friday) afternoon and evening, with damaging winds, possible tornadoes, and large hail in the forecast, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The storms are forecasted to develop quickly between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., moving at speeds of 50 to 60 mph. The greatest threat will be damaging winds, with gusts of up to 70 mph across central Iowa. Tornadoes, some potentially strong, and large hail are also possible, particularly in southeastern parts of the state. Even outside of thunderstorms, strong south-southeast winds could reach 50 mph over southern and eastern Iowa, leading to critical fire weather conditions. A Red Flag Watch has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning, and residents are advised to avoid burning, as fires could quickly become uncontrollable. Most of the listening area is an “enhanced risk” category for severe weather Friday, while eastern Audubon County, all of Guthrie County, and southern Greene County are considered at “moderate risk.” A Wind Advisory is also in effect, with gusty conditions continuing into Saturday. Cooler temperatures and light-blowing snow are possible in northern Iowa. If severe weather occurs, ensure you have access to a battery-powered weather radio and stay tuned to your Carroll Broadcasting stations.

Bill seeks to penalize Deere for 2024 layoffs

(Radio Iowa) – Republicans on an Iowa House Subcommittee have voted to require that Deere and Company return half of the lucrative state tax credit it received for research activities in 2024 — due to what the bill describes as “mass layoffs.” President Trump threatened to slap tariffs on John Deere products if the company move more production to Mexico and Republican Representative Derek Wulf of Hudson suggests the bill fits with Trump’s agenda. “In my opinion, this bill is the definition of ‘America First’ and more importantly ‘Iowa First,'” Wulf said. About 17-hundred workers at Deere plants in Iowa were laid off in 2024. Stacey Pellet, a lobbyist for Deere and Company, says layoffs are a last resort and not uncommon during market downturns.

Iowa District 14 Senator Sarah Trone-Garriott Shares Concerns the New Law That Removed Gender Identity

An Iowa legislator voices her thoughts in opposition of a newly signed law, a bill that impacts some citizen’s civil rights protections. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds recently signed Senate File 418 that removed gender identity as a protected class from the Iowa Civil Rights Act. Iowa District 14 Senator Sarah Trone-Garriott explains that in 2007, the state’s Civil Rights Code was expanded to include sexuality and gender as protected categories. She says that the reason behind the protected classes is to ensure that no one is treated unfairly.
