Another Rainy Day

Another rainy day may be in store for the state as a cold front pushes over the state tomorrow. A few thunderstorms are possible across southern and eastern Iowa tomorrow, with the slight chance of a severe thunderstorm capable of large hail. Otherwise another soaking rain expected for the fields of Iowa, which appear highly un-planted at the moment.

Total precipitation amounts are expected to range from a tenth to a quarter of an inch across western Iowa through tomorrow afternoon. Eastern Iowa may see more, ranging from a few tenths to a half-inch of rain expected for those areas through tomorrow night.

Lows tonight in the 50s across the state, with highs tomorrow ranging from near 60 to near 70 from northwest to southeast. Thursday night lows behind the cold front should range from the upper 30s across northwest Iowa, to near 50 in the extreme southeast as the cold front is just passing through. Friday highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s across the entire state as mostly cloudy skies continue. Friday night lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s from northwest to southeast as skies begin to clear for the weekend. Temperatures will be on the rise through the weekend and into early next week before our next storm system moves in mid-week next week. It looks like we'll finally have a nice and dry weekend across the state!
