Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
403 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024

Today:

Showers and storms continue over the region early this morning with
some producing heavy rainfall. Temperatures are mild with lower 60s
northwest to the upper 60s in the south. This morning a large
complex of thunderstorms will continue moving over south central
Iowa with the potential for several inches of rain.  Localized
flooding may occur early today and a flood watch for locally heavy
rain covers about the northwest half of the region. The showers and
storms will weaken a bit by mid to late morning, but still linger
into the early afternoon.

This afternoon will see a renewed increase in stronger thunderstorms
over much of the central to southeast portion of the state. A second
area of storms may develop over the northwest, which already has
seen some locally heavy rainfall overnight.  A second flood watch
has been issued for the south and southeast where rainfall amounts
may again cause some localized flooding.  Severe weather is also
expected and strong to severe storms are more likely between 2 pm
and the mid evening hours over the area. Highs this afternoon will
range from the upper 70s north to the upper 80s southeast.

Tonight and beyond:

The storms will end this evening with a break in the weather for
Wednesday.  Wednesday will likely be the quietest day with nothing
substantial forecast during the daytime hours. Then to round out the
week, additional chances for showers and storms make appearances
Thursday and Friday, though the risk for any stronger to severe
storms remains uncertain at this time. Additional showers and
scattered storms will be possible over the weekend as well.
Temperatures later in the week are predominantly expected to top out
in the 80s with lows generally in the 60s.
