Iowa weather: Cooler summer weather for the rest of the week (2024)

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF EYEBALLS ON THAT CAR. THAT’S ABSOLUTELY THE CASE. WELL, THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE’VE HAD HEAT. WE’VE HAD SOME STORMS. SO IT’S NICE TO JUST KIND OF TAKE A DEEP BREATH. YEAH. THIS IS THE BREATHER THAT WE DESERVE. WE NEED. AND WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT RAIN CHANCES FOR THE WEEKEND. BUT WE CAN ENJOY A STRETCH OF SOME NICE WEATHER. EVEN FROM YESTERDAY, IT WAS FAIRLY NICE. WE HAD SOME OF THOSE RAIN CHANCES AS FAR AS IN THE AFTERNOONS, AND WE’LL SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE CLOUD COVER AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND, BUT YOU CAN ENJOY SOME OF THE SUNSHINE AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF TODAY. COMFORTABLE SUMMER DAYS AHEAD. WEEKEND RAIN CHANCES AS WE GET INTO SATURDAY AND MOSTLY SUNDAY. ZOOMING WAY OUT, SATELLITE AND RADAR. YOU’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH REALLY JUST CLEAR SKIES OVER IOWA. NOT GOING TO HAVE REALLY ANYTHING WE HAVE TO ZOOM OUT TO EVEN SEE ANYTHING ON THE RADAR AS WELL. TO THE SOUTH, MAINLY GOING TO BE DEALING WITH A HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. NORTH WINDS ARE IN PLACE AND THAT’S GOING TO KEEP US ON THE COOLER SIDE AS WE EVEN GO IN THIS AFTERNOON. SOME MINOR CLOUD COVER, FAIR WEATHER, CLOUDS NOT GOING TO BE TOO IMPACTFUL THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THAT NORTH WIND STILL CONTINUES AS WE GO OVERNIGHT. STAYING CLEAR, STAYING CALM. MAYBE SOME CLOUD COVER A LITTLE BIT FOR THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE AS WE WAKE UP FOR THURSDAY, BUT WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE LOOKING AT A LOT OF SUNSHINE THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND THEN SOME MORE RETURNING CLOUDS FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON, BUT STILL NOT GOING TO BE DEALING WITH ANY OF THE RAIN CHANCES WE HAVE THAT SINKING AIR THANKS TO THAT HIGH PRESSURE THAT’S IN CONTROL, BUT FOR THIS WEEKEND IT GETS NUDGED OFF TO THE EAST AS AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE MOVES IN. IT’S NOT VERY STRONG, SO WE’RE NOT LOOKING AT STRONG STORMS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT GOING INTO FRIDAY NIGHT TO SATURDAY MORNING, RAIN CHANCES ARE GOING TO BE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST, ESPECIALLY FOR JUST THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. THE BETTER CHANCE FOR THOSE SHOWERS AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE MORNING, AND THEN WE’LL HAVE SOME BROKEN ACTIVITY AS WE GO INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THAT DOES STILL LINGER AROUND FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS WELL. THE WARMER PARTS OF THE DAY. ONCE WE GET INTO SUNDAY, AND TO START OFF NEXT WEEK, THAT WILL BE THE BETTER CHANCES FOR THOSE SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS TO SPROUT. BUT WE’RE NOT LOOKING AT ANYTHING MAJOR, NOT A REALLY ORGANIZED SYSTEM, BUT STILL, RAIN CHANCES FOR THE WEEKEND. SO YOU GOT TO ENJOY THE NICE WEATHER WE HAVE FOR TODAY AND FOR THE REST OF THIS WORKWEEK. SUNNY AND WARM BY 5:00. OR HAVE THOSE TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND THAT 80 DEGREE MARK, THAT SLIGHT BREEZE IN PLACE VERY COMFORTABLE. THIS EVENING AS WE COAST BACK DOWN IN THE 70S, AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT, WE DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE 50S. SO TOMORROW MORNING IT’S GOING TO BE A CHILLY ONE. EVEN RELATIVE TO WHAT WE HAD THIS PAST WEEKEND. SO YOU MIGHT EVEN WANT TO HAVE A LIGHT SWEATER TO START OFF THURSDAY MORNING AND FRIDAY MORNING. BOTH OF THEM WAKING UP IN THE 50S AND THEN SATURDAY. THAT’S THE BETTER CHANCE FOR RAINFALL IMPACTED BY THOSE TEMPERATURES OF THE CLOUDS, AS WELL AS HIGHS MID 70S WITH
