Weather Summary for Iowa

National Weather Service Des Moines IA

405 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024



Today: 



All is quiet across the state of Iowa early this morning as surface

high pressure is in firm control. Clear skies and light winds have

allowed for temperatures to drop into the 40s, with some locations in

northern Iowa reporting temperatures in the upper 30s. Temperatures

should fall much further by sunrise.  



Breezy southerly winds will give temperatures a boost today with 

afternoon highs in the 70s to near 80. Thunderstorm chances increase 

once again by late afternoon and through the evening hours. Expect

storms to initially develop over western Iowa and track east. Some of

the storms will likely be strong to severe and capable of producing 

large hail and damaging winds. A few tornadoes are possible as well.

Those with outdoor interests should pay close attention for quickly

changing weather conditions and have multiple ways to receive warning

information. 



Tonight and beyond: 



Forecast remains active through the rest of the week. This starts 

with another round of widespread showers and storms by later

Wednesday and through Thursday, followed by lower chances for showers

and storms late in the week into the weekend. The severe weather 

threat looks low at this time, but will continue to be evaluated in 

the coming days. Moderate to locally heavy rains are anticipated which

may lead to standing water on fields and roads, as well as within 

bank rises on rivers and streams.
