Weather Summary for Iowa

National Weather Service Des Moines IA

402 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024



Today: 



High pressure was established across the Midwest overnight providing

clear skies and light winds throughout much of Iowa. This allowed

temperatures to drop into the 30s in the north with some areas of

frost. Farther south, readings remained in the lower 40s with light 

north winds. 



A very pleasant day is expected across Iowa and much of the upper

Midwest as winds remain light along with plenty of sunshine. Highs are

expected to be near normal with readings in the low to mid 60s over

much of the state. 



Tonight and beyond: 



Clouds begin to increase later tonight into Thursday ahead of an

approaching system. A few showers may occur in portions of southwest

Iowa on Thursday, however most locations are expected to remain dry.

This changes into Thursday night as showers and thunderstorms spread

across the state. The stormy conditions persist into Friday as strong

low pressure passes through Nebraska. Strong to severe storms are

expected on Friday afternoon into the evening across portions of

western and central Iowa with large hail and a few tornadoes as the 

main threat. Locally heavy rainfall is also possible into Friday as 

well. The active weather continues into the weekend with additional 

chances of showers and storm with some strong to severe storms 

remaining possible. Be weather aware over the next several days as 

active weather increases across Iowa!
