Iowa severe weather: Central Iowa schools closing early Friday ahead of severe storms
Dangerous severe weather situation unfolding
Storm chasers and forecasters are warning of a high risk for dangerous tornadic storms in the Midwest and Gulf Coast.
Some students are getting an early start to spring break as the NWS severe weather outlook prompts districts to close schools early.
Waukee was the first major district in central Iowa to announce schools were closing early due to the forecasted storms.
At least one smaller district in central Iowa also announced plans to close early.
Here’s what we know.
Waukee schools closing two hours early
Waukee CSD will dismiss two hours early on March 14 due to expected weather conditions. There will be no afternoon preschool and all evening activities and classes will be canceled.
Here’s when schools close:
- Elementary schools will dismiss at 1:40 p.m.
- Middle schools at 12:58 p.m.
- Prairieview and Timberline at 12:50 p.m.
- High schools at 1:10 p.m.
NWS severe weather outlook: Storm risk starts at 4 p.m.
Much of central Iowa is under a moderate (level 4) risk of severe weather Friday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service’s severe weather outlook.
High winds, with gusts up to 70 mph, are the primary threat.

Iowa State basketball’s Curtis Jones talks after scoring 31 in the Big 12 Tournament
Selection Sunday has arrived, which means March Madness has officially begun.
Iowa State men’s basketball is a No. 3 seed in the South region of the 2025 NCAA Tournament and will face No. 14 Lipscomb in the first round.
Here’s what you need to know about the Cyclones’ first-round game:
Watch Iowa State vs. Lipscomb on SLING
What time does Iowa State play Lipscomb in 2025 NCAA Tournament?
- Date: Friday, March 21
- Time: 12:30 p.m. CT
- Location: Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
What channel is Iowa State vs. Lipscomb in March Madness first round?
Iowa (22-10, 10-8 Big Ten) will learn its NCAA Tournament fate at long last on Selection Sunday.
The Hawkeyes fought through a five-game losing streak at the beginning of Big Ten play and emerged on the other side as one of the nation’s hottest teams. Iowa has won 10 of its past 13 contests, including a signature win versus No. 4 USC on Feb. 2 and three close losses against No. 1 UCLA and No. 13 Ohio State.
As fans wait for the big reveal later tonight, here’s one final look at where the experts are projecting the Hawkeyes to fall in the NCAA Tournament brackets.
ESPN Selection Sunday bracketology
Seeding: No. 6 seed in Region 1 Birmingham vs. No. 11 seed George Mason
Breakdown: Iowa earns a No. 6 seed and is slated to meet George Mason first in a game in Durham, N.C., at the host site of the No. 3 seed Duke Blue Devils. Duke would meet No. 14 seed Arkansas State.
If Iowa beat George Mason, it would battle the Duke Blue Devils for the right to advance to the Sweet 16. The Hawkeyes draw the top overall seed in this bracket in the South Carolina Gamecocks and No. 2 seed TCU.
CBS Sports bracketology
Seeding: No. 6 seed
Her Hoops Stats bracketology
Seeding: No. 6 seed in Region 4 Birmingham vs. No. 11 seed Fairfield
Breakdown: Iowa would be off to Lexington, Ken., under this bracketing scenario. The Hawkeyes face off against 11th-seeded Fairfield first, and, if they could win, then would likely see No. 3 seed Kentucky waiting who opens up against No. 14 seed Liberty.
Iowa draws No. 1 seed Texas and No. 2 seed UConn in this projected bracket.
