Hard to believe that Eastern Iowa and Northern Illinois would be receiving severe weather in December that included a severe t-storm watch in December. Highs today were 70 or better around the area. With a cold front moving through this caused strong to severe thunderstorms to develop. Here are some storm reports from the WeatherMatics Area of Responsibility.
