Very High Fire Danger Today

Showers and Storms Later Today

Warm, dry and gusty conditions will lead to another day of elevated fire danger, particularly late this morning through about mid to late afternoon. Burning should be avoided, with extra caution taken if using heavy equipment. Conditions improve late this afternoon to evening as a frontal boundary brings increasing chances for showers and non-severe storms, continuing into early next week.

A frontal boundary arriving into northwest Iowa late this afternoon to evening will end the streak of dry weather as showers and non-severe storms develop, dropping slowly across the state through Monday that will bring on and off showers and storms across the state, lingering southeast into Tuesday morning. Rainfall amounts generally around 1 inch or less are anticipated, though locally higher amounts are possible southwest.
