Weather Summary for Iowa...UPDATED
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1055 AM CDT Wed Jul 8 2020
Sunny skies, light south winds, and very muggy and hot conditions
prevailed across the region late this morning. At 10 AM, temperatures
ranged in the middle 80s with dew points ranging in the lower 70s
leading to heat index values already into the middle 90s over much of
Iowa.
Expect the hot and humid conditions to persist into tonight. Storm
chances finally return to the state late tonight, but confined to the
northwest corner. Better chances for thunderstorms are forecast on
Thursday over much of the state with severe storms possible over
eastern Iowa into Illinois and Wisconsin. Another potential for
storms is forecast Friday, but mainly across western Iowa into
Nebraska and South Dakota. Cooler temperatures are anticipated
Thursday into the weekend where highs remain in the 80s.
