These conditions have helped fuel another round of thunderstorm activity, mainly over portions of northwest into north central Iowa. A few stronger wind gusts have been noted with this activity, but the severe weather threat has been on the lower end so far. Chances for storms will persist through the day over portions of northern Iowa, whereas the rest of the area will see another day of hot and humid conditions with breezy south winds pushing highs into the 90s and peak heat index values to near 100 in a few areas. Tonight and Beyond: An active weather pattern continues through the rest of the week. Widespread showers and storms are likely Tuesday and into Wednesday as a frontal boundary noses into the state. This will lead to a brief reprieve from the heat on Wednesday before the heat builds back in over the latter half of the week. Periodic chances for showers and storms remain in the forecast through the weekend, although the most likely time periods and potential severe weather threat remains uncertain at this time. $$
