Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
Issued by National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE
1039 AM CDT Wed Apr 14 2021
A cool northwest breeze and patchy cloud cover are dominating the
region today. Mid morning temperatures were in the 30s across the
state with a few lower 40s near the Missouri border. Winds in the 15
to 25 mph range were common with wind chills feeling rather cool for
mid April. Expect the patchy cloud cover to limit warming today with
highs ranging from the middle 40s in northeast Iowa to the lower 50s
along the Missouri border. Lows tonight fall back to around the
freezing mark leading the potential for more patchy frost
development especially in central and western Iowa.
Temperatures through the end of the week remain below normal with
daily highs mainly in the 50s. A few light rain showers are possible
in southern parts of the state Friday into Saturday, but much of Iowa
likely remains dry through the weekend. A passing cold front early
next week may bring another round of blustery conditions and a
reinforcing shot of below normal temperatures.
