From there, the line of storms will race off to the northeast and reach the Mississippi River between 9 PM and Midnight. By midnight, the severe threat is coming to an end in eastern Iowa, but we will see windy conditions continue through the night and into the weekend. </p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3Iezg8_0zfSTb2100" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3Iezg8_0zfSTb2100" width="1300" height="730" ><figcaption>Severe risk friday afternoon and evening (KCRG First Alert Storm Team)</figcaption></figure><h2>Impacts: Winds and isolated tornadoes primary concerns</h2><p>This line of storms will be moving very fast, up to 60 mph. This means you will have less time than usual to react to any warnings that are issued for your area. However, it also means that these storms will not be impacting any one location for an extended period of time, beginning and ending in generally 30 minutes or less. </p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0VVa0b_0zfSTb2100" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0VVa0b_0zfSTb2100" width="1300" height="730" ><figcaption>Severe risk friday afternoon and evening (KCRG First Alert Storm Team)</figcaption></figure><p>With the line of storms moving extremely fast and the larger-scale storm system creating very strong winds throughout all levels of the atmosphere, damaging straight-line winds are the primary concern. A few tornadoes could develop within the line of storms. Any tornadoes that develop are expected to be short-lived, but will be moving fast while they are on the ground. Some of these storms could produce hail, but widespread large hail is not the primary concern with this line of storms. As previously mentioned, however, the larger scale storm system is generating very strong winds. This means windy conditions will persist before and after the storms move through. </p></div></body>
