Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
520 AM CDT Thu May 16 2024

Today:

For much of the state, it will be a quiet and dry day. The except may
be parts of eastern Iowa where a few showers and rumbles of thunder
may be heard before precipitation chances fully exit the state
eastward. Otherwise, expect seasonably highs in the 70s and
northwesterly winds for most.

Tonight and beyond:

Southerly winds overspread the state through the overnight and into
Friday, helping raise high temperatures into the lower 80s in most
cases. Winds will also be a bit breezy over northwest and northern
areas where sustained winds will likely be around 15 to 20 mph with
a few gusts in the 20s mph. Saturday too shapes up to be mostly dry,
but a cool front that will move across the state may provide enough
oomph to spark off a few scattered storms by the afternoon and early
evening. Those chances are on the low end at this point in time. By
Sunday and into next week, the pattern picks up with multiple rounds
of thunderstorms appearing in the forecast, including the potential
for some stronger to severe storms, though details remain hazy at this
point in time. Temperatures will ease back from their Saturday peak
into the mid 80s, settling back into the 70s through next week.
