Weather Summary for Iowa

National Weather Service Des Moines IA

414 AM CDT Fri May 3 2024



Today: 



Lingering clouds and light showers have moved out of Iowa and skies

are clear early this morning, except that areas of fog have developed

and are reducing visibility to below a quarter of a mile at some

locations. This will persist until the fog dissipates after sunrise

later this morning. Temperatures are hovering in the upper 30s and 40s

and winds are light and variable.



Once the morning fog burns off it will be a mostly sunny and quiet

day, with temperatures peaking around the lower 70s this afternoon.

Winds will come around to the southeast during the day and increase 

to around 10 mph.



Tonight and beyond: 



Showers and thunderstorms are expected to spread across Iowa from west

to east tonight, mainly after midnight, before departing eastern Iowa

late Saturday. A few of these storms may produce hail or gusty winds 

in southern Iowa, but the overall severe weather threat is low.

Saturday will also be a bit cooler with highs in the lower 60s north

to lower 70s southeast, and northwest winds around 15 mph and gusty

during the afternoon.



Thunderstorm chances will return from around Monday afternoon into 

Tuesday, and severe weather may be possible once again but this threat

will be evaluated in the coming days. The early part of next week 

also appears milder, with high temperatures both Monday and Tuesday in

the mid to upper 70s in most areas.
