Stunning September!

A great day today across the state, with highs ranging from the upper 70s in northwest Iowa to the mid-80s in southeast Iowa with 86 degrees coming out of Keokuk! This occurred with clear skies throughout the day and relatively light winds, which allowed full heating throughout the state. You can expect much of the same tomorrow, with temperature slightly increasing tomorrow. But, with the clear skies over the next 48 hours, will also allow low temperatures to drop as much as they can. Likely into the lower to mid 50s across the state tonight, maybe even an upper 40 mark in northwest Iowa, lower to upper 50s for tomorrow night as well seem likely.

The first disturbance that comes into view will do so on Friday, although only western Iowa should see the thunderstorm chance Friday afternoon. The rest of the state should expect thunderstorms to possible move in on Friday night or early Saturday morning. This system should continue to produce thunderstorms over the state on Saturday afternoon/night over much of the state, especially central Iowa. With another weak wave expected on Sunday, expect more of a shower threat with that system, nonetheless cloudy and rainy could be a possibility.
