Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
322 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

Today:

Dry conditions continued across Iowa early this morning, with clouds
over the western portion of the state as showers and storms continued
across parts of Nebraska and South Dakota. With persistent southeast
flow, temperatures have remained warm with values as of 3am in the mid
60s to low 70s, along with clear skies over much of the eastern half
of the state.

Weather conditions look to be fairly quiet for much of the day across
Iowa, as the aforementioned showers and storms diminish before
reaching the state. However, expecting showers and storms to redevelop
this evening, with a few storms possibly strong over the northwestern
half of Iowa. Highs today are expected to top out in the mid to upper
80s, with breezy S-SE winds gusting to 20-25 mph, isolated to 30 mph
north.

Tonight and beyond:

Showers and storms look to continue tonight, mainly west before
tracking across central to eastern Iowa into Thursday morning, though
severe weather potential is low at this time. Overnight lows in the
60s to low 70s are expected. Outside of lingering showers and storms
Thursday morning, additional development is expected late Thursday
afternoon to evening, with some storms possibly becoming strong to
severe. The highest potential for severe weather remains over northern
Iowa, with the main hazards being damaging winds and large hail,
though a few tornadoes cannot be completely ruled out. Additional on
and off showers and storms are expected Friday, and especially this
weekend with more widespread activity. Warmer temperatures in the 80s
remain through Friday, before cooler air moves into the region by the
weekend, resulting in temperatures in the upper 60s to 70s for highs.
