Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
402 AM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021
Skies were cloudy across Iowa overnight with brisk southeast winds
and a few areas of showers and brief thunderstorms, mainly northwest
thus far. Temperatures heading toward daybreak were in the middle 40s
east to middle 50s west. The southeast winds reached sustained speeds
of 10 to 20 mph with gusts from 20 to 30 mph central and west.
Areas of showers and thunderstorms are expected to slowly advance west
to east across the Midwest today from mainly along and west of the
Missouri Valley early this morning, to centered along the Interstate
35 corridor this evening, and then eventually to the Mississippi
Valley late Thursday. Although the thunderstorm potential should
diminish later today, the slow movement of this system and prolonged
rain chances may result in widespread one to two inch rain accumulations
before ending west to east late Thursday into Friday morning. Severe
weather is not anticipated. Highs will be no better than the middle
50s into tomorrow, with brisk north winds and intermittent rain making
it feel even cooler.
The outlook for the weekend looks better however with dry conditions
expected. Temperatures should remain fairly seasonal, with highs
across the Midwest in the 50s or lower 60s Saturday before a cold
front drops highs into the middle 40s to middle 50s Sunday.
