Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
424 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024

Today:

It has been a quiet, but warm and muggy night across Iowa. A few
thunderstorms have developed along the Mississippi River valley, but
otherwise skies are mostly clear. Across most of the state winds are
from the southwest at 10 to 15 mph and temperatures remain in the
upper 70s to lower 80s at this hour. However, a weak frontal boundary
has entered northwest Iowa and behind the front winds are from the
northwest around 10 mph and temperatures are in the mid 70s.

Isolated thunderstorms will remain possible this morning, mainly over
southern and eastern Iowa, before departing. It will be another hot
and humid day, with temperatures climbing into the 90s in most areas
and Heat Index values approaching 100 degrees in central and southern
sections. Renewed thunderstorm development is forecast from this
afternoon into tonight, especially over the southern two thirds of
Iowa, and severe weather will be possible during this time.

Tonight and beyond:

Once storms move out of Iowa tonight, we will have a respite from the
recent hot and active weather, with dry conditions forecast by
Wednesday and afternoon high temperatures only in the upper 70s to
mid 80s. Thursday will begin similarly quiet and pleasant, but shower
and thunderstorm chances then return to the forecast from late
Thursday through Friday. By next weekend, however, dry and pleasant
weather will return with high temperatures Saturday and Sunday ranging
in the mid 70s to lower 80s and less humid conditions anticipated.
