light showers over the eastern two-thirds of the state. Temperatures

Chances for showers will continue later today over the northeast half
of Iowa, with a few thunderstorms also possible. It will become breezy
statewide as well with northwest winds at 15 to 25 mph, and gusts 25
to 35 mph. These brisk winds, coupled with dry vegetation and low
humidities, will combine to produce elevated fire weather conditions
west. Highs should be in the middle 50s to middle 60s.

Tonight and beyond:

The potential for precipitation will decrease through the evening,
leading to dry conditions overnight and through the weekend. It will
be breezy again Friday with highs across the region ranging from the

can be expected Saturday and Sunday with highs in the 70s and 80s.
