Surprisingly photogenic shelf cloud along the leading edge of this disorganized cluster of storms. Leading edge of the outflow doing work!

This Twitter change today is a total dumpster fire. Unless something changes, this platform is now pretty much useless for those of us in the weather enterprise.

Swimming in a pool isn’t the same as swimming at a beach with crashing waves, winds and dangerous #ripcurrents. Obey beach flags if they're in your area and learn how to escape a rip current if you're caught in one. weather.gov/VacayOK can help you #KnowBeforeYouGo!
Rip Currents: Know Your Options. If caught in a rip current: 1) Relax, rip currents don't pull you under. 2) Don't swim against the current. 3) Swim out of the current, then to shore. 4) If you can't escape, float or tread water. 5) If you need help, yell or wave for assistance. Rip currents are powerful currents of water moving away from shore. They can sweep even the strongest swimmer away from shore. If at all possible, swim near a lifeguard.

Spotty rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches are possible in southern Iowa this evening and overnight from slow moving storms. Urban/poor drainage areas would be most prone to flash flooding while long term rain deficits should limit widespread flash flooding concerns elsewhere. #iawx
