Otherwise the majority of the state remains dry this morning under clear skies, with very warm overnight temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s north and in the mid to upper 70s south and light south/southwest winds. Dry conditions for most areas are expected for the remainder of the morning, with remaining storms exiting the state early on, though additional showers and non-severe storms may bleed into northern Iowa in the mid to late morning hours. However, the attention turns to later this afternoon to evening when the frontal boundary pushes across the state, bringing returning chances for possible strong to severe storms, especially over southern and eastern Iowa. Damaging winds and large, possibly significant hail are the main threats, though a few tornadoes are possible as well. High temperatures will be quite warm as well, with values through the 80s and into the mid 90s, paired with heat indices in the upper 90s south. Tonight and beyond: A few lingering strong to severe storms are possible far south, before gradually clearing. Overnight lows in the upper 50s to low 60s are expected, with light winds. Dry and quiet weather is expected Friday, with slightly cooler temperatures through the 80s. On and off shower and storm chances return throughout the weekend and into early next week, with some potential for strong to severe storms at times. Hot temperatures are forecast Sunday through much of next week, with values largely into the low to mid 90s. $$
