Breezy south winds have kept conditions warm and humid overnight with temperatures still in the 70s to low 80s. Storm chances quickly ramp up this afternoon and evening as a frontal boundary noses into western Iowa. Some of these storms may be strong to severe and produce damaging winds and large hail in addition to heavy rainfall. Tonight and Beyond: Widespread showers and storms are likely tonight into Wednesday as the front is slow to progress eastward. Some areas will see multiple rounds of thunderstorm activity, which may result in heavy rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches and potentially higher in some locations. The rainfall and cloud cover will provide a brief reprieve from the heat before conditions warm back up on Thursday and into the weekend. Periodic chances for showers and storms remain in the forecast, although the potential for severe weather remains uncertain at this time. $$
