A Dry Weekend!

After over a week of rain throughout parts of the state and seeing nearly two dozen different counties put under flood warnings the rain is finally gone. Monday night looks like the first time where more rain comes into the forecast, however this rain should only stay in the forecast for 36 hours or less.

With a dry forecast, any kind of temperatures should be suitable. Todays' highs should range from the mid 70s to near 80 from north to south. Lows tonight will be quite nice and nearly chilly for some people, mid 50s to lower 60s from northeast to southwest over the state. Lows in that range signify that the moisture that has hung out over the state for the past week is finally on its' way out with that system that is now effecting portions of the eastern US.

Sunday will be much the same, dry with warming temperatures. Highs in the lower 80s in the north, to some mid 80s in south-central Iowa and possibly a few upper 80s in the southwest portion of the state. Lows will signify the return of moisture, with lower 60s over northeast Iowa to near 70 along the Missouri River.

A quick look at the beginning of the workweek will show off the return of the heat as well to go with the moisture. High temperatures expected to be in the mid 80s over eastern Iowa to the lower 90s across western Iowa. That heat and humidity will also begin the next chance of thunderstorms over the state, too early to tell about the severe threat, but I'd put on a likely chance that we will see at least another 'Slight' risk day or two over the state by the Storm Prediction Center.
