Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
350 AM CDT Sun Apr 21 2024

Today:

Another fairly quiet start to the day as the large area of high
pressure that has influenced the weather over the past few days
continues to drop further south and east. Widespread temperatures in
the upper 20s to low 30s as of 3am will allow for the Freeze Warning
over Iowa to remain, though is expected to drop off by 8am as
temperatures warm. Winds this morning were largely out of the
west/northwest and generally light, along with clear skies across the
state.

Following the chilly morning conditions, temperatures are expected to
warm nicely as highs reach into the upper 50s to low 60s today under
plenty of sunshine. Winds are expected to be breezy today with
northwest winds gusting up to 20 mph, before turning light and
shifting southwesterly late.

Tonight and beyond:

Skies are expected to remain clear tonight into Monday, with lows
falling largely in the mid to upper 30s, though a few sites could see
values in low 30s. Isolated frost is possible as a result,
especially northeast.

The initial start to the work week looks quiet, though increasing
clouds into Monday afternoon will precede returning chances for
occasional showers and possibly a few non-severe storms for the rest
of the day and possibly through much of Tuesday. Winds early week are
expected to be quite gusty as well, with gusts up to 35-40 mph from
the southwest, before turning back more northwesterly and remaining
rather breezy. A return to dry weather comes Wednesday, then
additional chances for rain are expected into the late work week,
which looks to also come with the potential for severe weather at
times. Warming temperatures are expected through the work week, with
temperatures largely in the 60s to low 70s.
