WEATHER SUMMARY FOR IOWA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
339 AM CDT FRI JUL 26 2024
TODAY:
RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS A FEW SHOWERS OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN IOWA AS WE MOVE INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THESE
SHOWERS WERE PRODUCING BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS, WITH A FEW GAUGES NEAR
CENTERVILLE RECORDING OVER A HALF INCH OF RAINFALL. THE REST OF THE
STATE IS QUIET WITH ONLY SCATTERED STRATUS CLOUD COVER. SOUTHERLY
WINDS HAVE HELD TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S AND 70S OVERNIGHT. ANY SHOWER
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE BY MID-MORNING.
A TYPICAL JULY DAY IS IN STORE WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE
MID 80S EAST TO MID 90S WEST AND ELEVATED HUMIDITY UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES. WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH AT 10 TO 20 MPH, WITH HIGHER
GUSTS CLOSE TO 30 MPH POSSIBLE AT TIMES IN NORTHERN IOWA.
TONIGHT AND BEYOND:
THE EXTENDED FORECAST IS HIGHLIGHTED BY INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY
NEXT WEEK. FIRST WE MUST GET THROUGH THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL FEATURE
HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 80S TO NEAR 90. SATURDAY LOOKS DRY, BUT
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS RETURN SUNDAY. THE THREAT OF SEVERE
WEATHER LOOKS LOW, BUT BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE. HIGHS IN
THE 90S AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PUSH HEAT INDEX VALUES TO NEAR OR
ABOVE 100 NEXT WEEK. THE HEAT WAVE PEAKS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK.
