Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1027 AM CDT Fri May 20 2022
It is a cloudy and dreary morning across the state. Temperatures this
morning are in the mid to upper 50s with areas in the southeastern
portions of the state reaching the low 60s. Winds from the northwest
remain light to breezy around 15 to 20 mph.
Temperatures today are forecasted to be in the mid to upper 60s
across much of the state with areas in far southeastern portions
reaching into the lower 70s. Cloudy skies will affect the state today
with some areas seeing brief sunshine. Lingering showers are sliding
eastward out of the area this morning and afternoon. Once these storms
exit, the topic of discussion will be the turn to cooler temperatures
this weekend into next week. A couple of chilly mornings may even see
some frost potential across parts of northern Iowa, with the best
chance Sunday morning. Period showers and non- severe storms will move
through the area as well, but nothing to be concerned about at this
point in time.
