These will cross into the state and continue to push north and east this morning, albeit in a weakening state as the environment becomes less favorable for more intense storm activity. Otherwise temperatures across the state are in the 60s early this morning with relatively light east to southeast winds. Additional storm chances redevelop into this afternoon and evening as breezy south winds gradually usher in more humid conditions. The timing and location of the next rounds of storms is difficult to pinpoint at this time, however the highest chances generally reside across western into northern Iowa. These storms will have the potential to be strong to severe and capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado or two. Tonight and beyond: Storm chances continue into the overnight hours although the severe threat should start to wane. Early next week will be highlighted by additional periodic episodes of storm chances and increasing heat and humidity. Heat index values Sunday and Monday may peak into the triple digits in some locations, and overnight lows only falling into the 70s will provide little relief. $$
