WEATHER SUMMARY FOR IOWA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
503 PM CDT Sun Jul 15 2018
A weak area of high pressure remained over Iowa today. The result was
light winds, seasonal temperatures and humid conditions. A few
thunderstorms did develop over the east and the far west portions of
the state, otherwise sky conditions were mainly partly cloudy.
Temperatures at 5 pm were in the low to mid 80s and the wind was light
and at 8 mph or less.
A weak boundary will pass through the region overnight and will be
followed by a more broad region of high pressure for Monday and
Tuesday. High temperatures in the low to mid 80s and less humid
conditions can be expected both days. Thunderstorm chances will begin
to increase across the Western Plains Tuesday night then will spread
eastward into the Siouxland and mid Missouri valley regions on
Wednesday. Addition thunderstorm chances are possible across much of
the Midwest for Thursday.
