Eastern Iowa, and more specifically the Cedar Rapids metro area has been abnormally quiet when it comes to severe weather thus far in 2025. So even though some non-severe storms moved through the area on Tuesday, June 3, I was ready with my camera. The above image looks northeast as seen from the Lowe Park ball diamond parking lot in Marion, Iowa at 4:27 pm CDT. The leading edge of the storm can be seen at right background as it passed overhead and toward the "two o'clock" position of this image.
4:29 pm. Looking southeast. Cloud movement here was right-to-left. This storm cell produced moderate amounts of lightning, wind and rain. Nikon Z6ii camera.
This Radarscope image from 4:26 pm shows the line of non-severe storms, with my position indicated by a white target icon. Some isolated tornado-warned areas near Mount Pleasant and Burlington in southeastern Iowa did form from this system.
