Ahh... Summer

Spent the first half of the week traveling from California into Las Vegas, NV; and then was in Vegas through Wednesday morning. Had a flight back into the plains of Iowa early Wednesday morning, and then drove back home during the afternoon hours. Finally back home and was able to see some of the wind damage that occurred on Monday morning across central Iowa. I will add on pictures from the last few days of Vacation, mainly Vegas pictures, later on this weekend. Started up another job today, working in the corn fields for Monsanto out of Spencer, IA. Also have two photography jobs that need to be done this weekend, so that will keep me quite busy for the next few days.

As for the weather in Iowa, it seems like you were stuck in a warm, humid, and stormy pattern for the week I was away. That has continued into today, and will likely stick around for a little while longer. Today's highs will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s depending on where you are with the breaks in the clouds. Some thunderstorms will be possible overnight across the state, lows should range from the mid 60s to near 70 from northeast to southwest. Lingering thunderstorms are possible across a majority of the state on Friday, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

The thunderstorm chances should be minimal on Friday night, however, still there. Lows should range in the 60s throughout the state. The weekend looks nice, with highs in the mid 80s to near 90 on Saturday; lower to mid 80s on Sunday. Lows should range in the 60s throughout the weekend. Scattered thunderstorms are possible, mainly Saturday night and Sunday, and especially over the southern two-thirds of the state. These continued chances of precipitation have prompted several flash flood or flood watches, as well as some warnings, over the southern portions of Iowa. Expect the saturated and some flooding to continue through the weekend.
