It was clear to partly cloudy over central and western portions of the state with a few patches of fog. Temperatures heading toward daybreak were fairly similar to what they have been the past few days with readings from the upper 50s northwest to upper 60s southeast. Winds were generally variable at speeds less than 10 mph, outside of near showers and storms. Partly sunny conditions are expected later this morning with much of the precipitation ending. Temperatures across Iowa should be in the lower to middle 70s approaching noontime. Slight chances for a shower or storm will return north and east by afternoon however, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Tonight and beyond: It should be dry across the state by tonight however with sky conditions ranging from mostly clear northwest to mostly cloudy southeast. Similar cloud conditions are expected Tuesday, but there will be a slight chance for afternoon showers and storms over northern Iowa and adjacent parts of Minnesota during the afternoon, with other chances across Missouri and Illinois due to the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. Another system will drop into the Missouri Valley Wednesday bring additional chances for showers and storms to the Midwest Wednesday. The outlook for the remainder of the week calls for only spotty chances for precipitation, and the main story turning to increasing heat and humidity. Highs should be in the middle 80s to middle 90s to end the week with peak heat indices well into the 90s from Iowa south and west. $$ Small
