Wet Weekend

Memorial Weekend has been fairly wet and cool across northwest Iowa, as a cold front is draped across the state leading to showers/thunderstorms along and north of the boundary. Today's highs over northwest Iowa where rain and cloud cover dominated were only in the mid 60s to lower 70s. Other parts of the state saw plenty of sun and temperatures once again soared into the upper 70s to mid 80s.

These showers and thunderstorms will continue over northwest Iowa tonight, and a few sprinkles are also possible over the rest of western and northern Iowa. Lows from the mid 50s to mid 60s from northwest to southeast are expected. As the cold front works through the rest of the state, we'll see isolated showers over all but the southeast corner of the state on Saturday. High temperatures from the upper 60s in the north, to the lower 80s in the south are forecasted. A few isolated showers are going to be held in the forecast over the western third of the state through the remainder of the weekend; with high temperatures in the 70s through the state on Sunday. Lows on Saturday and Sunday will be in the 50s for the most part, a few 60s also will be seen.

We'll see showers and thunderstorms work back into the forecast for Memorial Day, and through Tuesday. Showers over the southern half of the state during the day on Monday, over the entire state for Monday night and Tuesday, and then over the eastern third on Tuesday night. A few stronger thunderstorms may be possible if moisture can be sufficient, more details on that may be available later this weekend. Look for high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s on Memorial Day for the state; low temperatures in the mid 50s to lower 60s overnight on Monday...
