Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
406 AM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024

Today:

Quiet but rather warm to start the day, with temperatures around 4am
in the upper 50s to upper 60s, warmest across the south. Winds were
out of the southwest under partly to mostly clear skies.

Warm weather is expected across the state today, with highs reaching
into the upper 80s to low 90s. Southwest winds during the day will
increase with gusts upwards of 20-25 mph, isolated to 30 mph at times.
Dry weather is at least expected for the rest of the morning, before
showers and storms move into northern Iowa and gradually push across
the state this afternoon to evening. Following this activity,
additional storms are possible later this evening and into Thursday.
Overall, the main hazards would be large hail and damaging winds,
though a tornado or two cannot be ruled out mainly over northern Iowa.

Tonight and beyond:

Lingering storms are possible overnight into Thursday, mainly over the
eastern half of the state. Overnight lows are expected to fall into
the 60s to low 70s.

Additional showers and storms are possible Thursday morning, though
the best chance will be in the afternoon to evening with the potential
for strong to severe storms in southern to eastern Iowa. Damaging
winds and hail would be the primary threats once again, while a
tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Slightly warmer temperatures in
the 80s to mid 90s are expected into the afternoon, along with heat
indices in to upper 90s over southern Iowa. Dry conditions return
Friday, and slightly cooler in the 80s. Active weather looks to
continue through the weekend with additional chances for on and off
showers and storms, along with very warm temperatures in the 80s to
mid 90s.
