The most impactful weather early this week will be increasing heat. Tomorrow, scattered clouds will limit high temps to the mid/upper 80s. By Tuesday and Wednesday, ample sunshine will allow readings to jump toward the mid-90s. Feels-like readings of 100-110° are likely both afternoons. Thursday could be similarly hot. It will just depend how quickly more thunderstorms develop and come into Iowa that day. By then Iowa will be on the western flank of the hot high-pressure ridge and a boundary will approach, ushering in the return of rain. Showers and storms are possible Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before a hotter pattern sets up again early next week.
