Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
307 AM CDT Sun May 26 2024

Today:

Showers and thunderstorms are moving through the area early this
morning. Brief periods of heavy downpours, small hail and gusty
winds have been the primary concern for most of the region.
Temperatures are in the upper 50s to lower 60s with south southeast
winds of 10 to 15 mph.

This afternoon we will see a brief break from the morning showers
and storms before a few more pop up over the west and south this
afternoon. A few storms may be strong later in the afternoon, but
widespread severe weather is not forecast today. Highs will range
from the mid 60s north to the mid 70s over the south.

Tonight and beyond:

Early this evening some lingering showers and isolated thunderstorms
will occur over the south, otherwise skies will become partly cloudy
to clear overnight.  Lows will drop to the upper 40s northeast to
the mid 50s over the south.  Monday will begin with some clouds
around, but an approaching fast moving area of low pressure from the
Northern Plains will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms into
northern Iowa during the afternoon. A few of the storms may produce
small hail and gusty winds as they move east southeast. Lows tonight
with clear skies will dip to the 40s to lower 50s once again. Dry
weather will return to the region by Tuesday into Wednesday,
continuing into Thursday.  Generally near normal to slightly above
normal temperatures are anticipated through Friday as highs recover
to the mid to upper 70s Thursday and fall slightly by Friday.  An
approaching cold front Friday will bring another periods of showers
and thunderstorms across the region; possibly lasting through
Saturday.
