Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
346 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024

Today:

It was another early morning with warm temperatures and clear skies
across Iowa. Winds were light from the southeast heading toward
daybreak with temperatures in the 50s or lower 60s.

Full sunshine is anticipated again today with warm temperatures.
Readings should be rising through the 70s by late morning, heading
toward afternoon highs in the 80s. Gusty winds of 20 to 30 mph can be
expected northwest, initially from the southwest but becoming
northwest by late afternoon or early evening. These warm temperatures,
low humidities, gusty winds, and drying crops and grasses will result
in elevated fire weather conditions northwest by afternoon.

Tonight and beyond:

Skies will be clear to partly cloudy tonight with brisk winds tonight
as cooler air works its way through the region. Lows should be in the
40s northwest to around 60 southeast tonight, with highs Tuesday only
in the middle 60s to lower 70s.

Gusty southwest winds will bring a bit warmer temperatures again
Wednesday, with highs in the 70s and gusts as high as 25 to 35 mph
north. The warming temperatures, breezy conditions, and low humidities
will also result in elevated fire weather conditions from central
Iowa into Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Winds should subside
somewhat to end the week, but it should remain dry and mild through
the weekend with highs often in the 70s or lower 80s.
