RING TIME. TALK TO THE HAND. YEAH, WELL, WE ARE HEADING INTO SOME KIND OF UNCHARTED TERRITORY. THIS IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR. IT IS? YEAH. WE’RE TALKING HEAT INDEX VALUES, CLIMBING AROUND AND EVEN SOME SPOTS GREATER THAN 110 MARK JUST IT’S WHEN YOU MIX THE HEAT AND THE HUMIDITY. WE’VE SEEN TEMPERATURES 9495 THIS YEAR SO FAR. IN FACT 97 IS THE HOTTEST SO FAR WE’VE SEEN THIS YEAR. BUT AS FAR AS MIXING IN THIS HUMIDITY, IT’S GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE HAVEN’T QUITE SEEN YET. 110 AGAIN, 115 AT THE HIGHEST FOR TODAY AND THEN TOMORROW. STILL GOING TO BE A HOT DAY. COOLING THINGS DOWN AS WE GET INTO WEDNESDAY. STORMS OVERHEAD. SO STILL SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. BUT THEN WE REALLY CALM DOWN THURSDAY AND FOR FRIDAY. THAT’S A BREAK. IT’S YOUR OVERALL WORKWEEK, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, CLOUDS STILL OVERHEAD. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THINNING OUT THROUGHOUT THE DAY. 70 DEGREES TO START. STILL GOING TO BE A PRETTY MUGGY MORNING. STORMS DID PUSH IN. DROP THE TEMPERATURES IN THOSE MID TO UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S. THEY WERE HANGING OUT IN THE 80S BEFORE THEY PUSHED ON IN. SO GLAD TO SEE THE TEMPERATURES DID ACTUALLY DROP NICELY FOR US, BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO LAST LONG. 10:00 ALREADY FEELING LIKE NEAR 90 DEGREES AND MID TO UPPER 80S, BUT THEY WILL BE REALLY FEELING CLOSE AROUND 100 DEGREE MARK BY LUNCHTIME, ESPECIALLY AS WE GO DEEPER INTO THE AFTERNOON. NOTICE THE HOTTEST CONDITIONS. THE SOUTHWESTERN HALF OF THE STATE, NORTH AND NORTHEAST, STILL GOING TO BE HOT AND HUMID, JUST NOT GOING TO BE AS HOT. SO WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE TRACKING A DIFFERENCE ACROSS THE STATE. BUT NO MATTER WHAT, THERE WILL BE THAT THREAT, ESPECIALLY HERE IN CENTRAL IOWA. 110 TO 115 AND TO THE SOUTHWEST, AS FAR AS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY THIS AFTERNOON. AND THEN BY 10:00, STILL HOLDING ON TO FEELING LIKE THE MID 80S TO MID 90S. SO WE’RE NOT GOING TO EVEN CATCH A BREAK AS WE GO INTO THIS EVENING FROM THAT HEAT AND MUGGY FEEL. AS FAR AS THE RADAR RIGHT NOW, IT’S PRETTY BROKEN. NOW WE’RE TRIMMING IT DOWN TO PRETTY ISOLATED SHOWERS. THE RAIN CHANCE THAT KIND OF PUSHED ON THROUGH THE METRO IS FIZZLED OUT. WE’RE GOING TO BE DRYING THINGS OUT MOVING FORWARD. THE STRONGEST STORM RIGHT BETWEEN LENOX GOING TO MOUNT AIR IS MOVING EAST. SO ABOUT 169 IS GOING TO BE PASSING OVER ABOUT NEXT 15, 20 MINUTES OR SO. AS FAR AS THE RAINFALL THAT WE’VE SEEN, CLOSE TO AROUND HALF AN INCH IN IN THE METRO FARTHER NORTH, AMES CLOSE TO AROUND AN INCH AND EVEN SEEING 4/10 OF AN INCH NEAR GRINNELL AND NEWTON AREA. BUT AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THIS MORNING, THE RAIN CHANCE PUSHES ON OUT. WE CLEAR UP AS WELL, AND THAT’S GOING TO OPEN UP TO A VERY SUNNY DAY AND A VERY HOT ONE AS WELL. WITH WITH THE SOUTH WINDS WE HAVE STILL FEEDING IN THE MOISTURE AND OF COURSE THE CORN SWEAT. WE’VE BEEN HEARING THAT A LOT. THE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION, A LOT OF MOISTURE PUSHED INTO THE AIR AS WELL. SO WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE MUGGY FEEL THAT’S GOING TO HELP SPARK SOME STORMS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. AND FOR NORTHERN IOWA THEY’RE GOING TO COME IN PACKING A PUNCH ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20 IS WHERE WE EXPECT THE STRONGEST STORMS TO DEVELOP. AND STILL A CHANCE AS WE GO INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FOR CENTRAL IOWA, THAT ONE OUT OF FIVE CHANCE HERE FOR PRETTY MUCH ALONG THE I-80 CORRIDOR, AS YOU CAN TELL. BUT FOCUSING ON WHERE THE STRONGEST STORMS ARE GOING TO BE, THAT WILL BE FARTHER TO THE NORTH, THAT LEVEL THREE OUT OF FIVE CHANCE IS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE. MAINLY TALKING ABOUT VERY STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. SO THAT’S WHY WE’RE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT STORMS MAINLY IN NORTHERN IOWA. STILL A CHANCE AS WE GO INTO CENTRAL IOWA, AS WE GO THROUGHOUT TUESDAY EARLY MORNING. BUT WE’RE STILL IMPACT FOR THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY THAT’S GOING TO BE PERSISTING AS WE GO. FIRST TWO DAYS OF THE WORKWEEK, THEN STORMS. THE COLD FRONT PUSHES ON THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY, AND THAT’S GOING TO CLEAR US UP AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THIS WEEK. HIGHS IN T
