Iowa weather: Continued sunshine brings 90s our way

Iowa weather: Continued sunshine brings 90s our way
FOR THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THAT, WE DON’T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH ANY KIND OF RAINFALL OR ANYTHING LIKE ON THAT SORT OF REALM. BUT WE DO HAVE SOME HEAT COMING OUR DIRECTION. WE STARTED TO WARM UP HERE TODAY UP INTO THE 80S. WE HAD PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. WE’LL SEE MORE OF THAT TOMORROW AND IN THE DAYS TO COME. BY THIS WEEKEND, ACTUALLY, BEFORE THAT, WE’LL BE GETTING INTO THE 90S FOR OUR TEMPERATURES AND THE DRY WEATHER IS GOING TO PERSIST UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE DO HAVE A RAIN CHANCE, AND THEN WE WILL START TO SHIFT OUR PATTERN JUST A LITTLE BIT. THERE ARE SIGNS OF MAYBE SOME RAINFALL RETURNING TO OUR REGION AS WE HEAD TOWARDS EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS IS THE LONG RANGE OUTLOOK. SO 6 TO 10 DAYS FROM NOW AND YOU CAN SEE THAT KIND OF PALE GREEN COLORS IS A 30 TO 40% LIKELIHOOD OF ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION. SO I WOULD SAY WE’RE LEANING A LITTLE BIT WETTER. A FEW DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ARE GOING TO SCOOT ACROSS, MAINLY IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS HERE NEXT WEEK. WE MIGHT GET IN ON SOME OF THAT ACTION, BUT I WOULDN’T GET TOO EXCITED JUST YET. OUTSIDE THIS EVENING, STILL CLEAR SKIES. WE MIGHT SEE A FEW PATCHES OF SOME FOG DEVELOP AGAIN LATE TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING. PROBABLY NORTHERN IOWA, THE FAVORED LOCATIONS AND OF COURSE, YOUR USUAL SUSPECT AREAS, YOUR RIVER VALLEYS OR LOW LYING SPOTS, THAT SORT OF THING. AND THEN WE’RE RIGHT BACK INTO THE 80S TOMORROW, IN FACT, PROBABLY ONE OR 2 OR 3 DEGREES WARMER TOMORROW THAN TODAY. BY THE TIME WE GET TOWARDS FRIDAY, THAT’S WHEN WE CROSS THE 90 DEGREE MARK. WINDS WILL START TO PICK UP A LITTLE BIT TOO. FIRST OUT OF THE SOUTH AND EAST, THEN MORE OUT OF THE SOUTH AND WEST. AS WE GO THROUGH YOUR FRIDAY. AS FAR AS THE BREEZE GOES, MAYBE SOME 25 MILE PER HOUR GUSTS. SO NOT WHIPPING WINDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A NOTICEABLE BREEZE COMING YOUR DIRECTION THAT CONTINUES INTO SATURDAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, JUST A FEW HIGH CLOUDS. IS THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE MOIST? SORT OF WARM AIR MOVES IN AS FAR AS OUR HEAT INDEX VALUES. MAYBE TACK ON 1 OR 2 MORE DEGREES TO THOSE TEMPERATURES HERE FROM FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY. AND SAME FOR SUNDAY HERE TOO, AS WE HEAD INTO THE BACK HALF OF THE WEEKEND, CLOUDS WILL START TO INCREASE HERE ON SUNDAY. NOTICE NOTHING DURING THE DAY IN TERMS OF RAINFALL. BUT THEN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS LATER SUNDAY EVENING, ONE OF THE FIRST OF THOSE SYSTEMS I MENTIONED THAT’S GOING TO BE OUT OVER THE PLAINS. ONE OF THOSE WILL MAYBE SCRAPE BY PARTS OF WESTERN IOWA WITH A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND MAYBE A STORM OR TWO, AND THEN THAT CHANCE WILL SCOOT OFF TO THE EAST HERE INTO THE MIDDLE AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE, INTO PARTS OF MONDAY MORNING. SO RIGHT NOW WE’RE GOING TO ONLY GET PEGGED THAT AS ABOUT A 30% CHANCE. BUT THAT’S OUR ONLY CHANCE FOR THE TIME BEING. AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK, OUR TEMPERATURES DO START TO TREND BACK DOWN, BUT NOT A TON. WE GO FROM 90S BASICALLY BACK DOWN TO 80S. SO STILL DEFINITELY ON THE WARM SI

Warm, dry weather dominates the forecast over the next several days in Iowa.Skies will be quiet tonight, minus some areas of fog possible again before daybreak tomorrow. Temperatures will cool back down to around 60°.Interactive Radar | Weather AlertsTomorrow will be similar to today, just a bit warmer. Expect highs in the low to mid-80s by afternoon with plenty of sunshine. Highs around 90° or warmer come our way Friday and stick around into early next week. Saturday still looks like the hottest day — when temps will climb toward the mid-90s. Des Moines' record high for September 13 is 96°. We'll probably end up a couple degrees below that mark. Winds will also pick up some Friday through Sunday. A southwesterly breeze will gust up around 25 mph at times, helping push the heat into Iowa. By Sunday, the broader weather pattern will change enough to bring at least some chance of rain back. A wave of energy passing through the Plains to our west will help start showers and some storms over western Iowa later Sunday overnight into early Monday. Here in the central Iowa, that rainfall isn't guaranteed. A slightly more active pattern could bring better opportunities for rain toward the second half of next week.Until then, we'll be generally dry and warmer than normal. Iowa weather forecast:Today: Mostly sunny skies. High 83F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.Tonight: Mostly clear skies. Low 59F. Winds light and variable.Tomorrow: Sunny skies. High 87F.
