Will the Week Begin with Rain?: This Week in Marion Weather

There could be better ways to start the week than hot muggy temperatures and a chance for severe weather.

Then again, we could use the rain.
 
Marion joins much of Eastern Iowa in a hazardous weather outlook as the temperatures look to get warmer and muggier, bringing with it the chance for severe weather.

Thunderstorms will be possible Monday through wednesday. At this time it appears that strong storms will be possible Monday and again on Tuesday afternoon and evening.  An isolated severe storm is possible with the greatest threats being damaging wind and large hail.
