On such a tragic day in Minnesota, it's also a reminder of the importance of local journalism. The local TV stations had coverage all day. Writers/Journalists worked for hours, and are still working, to provide information to the public. It's not an easy task. And it matters.

Major turnout for the No Kings Day protest in Des Moines today. Around 4,000 people signed up to attend, but total attendance was likely even higher based on the crowds we saw. Attendees chanted, delivered speeches, and ended with a march around the Capitol. @weareiowa5news

Storms are rising up from Missouri. I'll be tracking the southern edge of Iowa for a chance at seeing some hail prospects through 6 PM. The environment is less favorable further north inhibiting a widespread risk further north. Additional development arrives from west later.

Central Iowa's storm threat looks to have a narrow window for development with some week convergence happening between 7-10PM. As we move later, the cap will be building back into place and these storms (should they develop) will fizzle as they move into it. #IAWX #DSM

Iowa's Lucy Olsen was drafted by the Washington Mystics with the 23rd overall pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft on Monday night. While Olsen only spent one season at Iowa, she certainly made her mark. weareiowa.com/article/sports…

Sources: Iowa has agreed to a deal to make Drake coach Ben McCollum the school’s next coach, per me and ⁦@jeffborzello⁩. He won four Division II national titles at Northwest Missouri State prior to leading Drake (31-4) to the NCAA Tournament in his lone season there.
