Skies were continuing to clear from west to east, leaving southwest Iowa underneath cloudy skies and areas of fog. Temperatures this morning will bottom out in the 60s, coolest northwest, then rebound nicely into the mid to upper 80s. A few showers or rumbles of thunder may be heard in far northwest or western Iowa this evening, but is not expected to spread substantially into the state. Tonight and beyond: The reprieve from shower and storm activity will be brief, and unfortunately that means Independence Day will see chances return. While much of the state may see some rain on the 4th, northern and eastern Iowa are the most likely to have evening and fireworks plans be mucked up by the weather. Central and western areas have a good shot at being dry by and after sunset. Otherwise, temperatures on the 4th will be on the cooler side with highs ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s, aided by lingering cloud cover. Rounding out the week and into the weekend, additional for showers or thunderstorms exist, with hints of some widespread dry days into next week. With all of that activity, temperatures too will remain on the cool side for this time of the year with highs broadly ranging from the mid 70s to mid 80s. $$
