Iowa weather: More storm chances this week

Iowa weather: More storm chances this week
THIRD, AND WE’RE GETTING THOSE APRIL SHOWERS, THAT’S FOR SURE. THOSE TULIPS HAVE BEEN POPPING IN A LOT OF PLACES DOWN IN PELLA. I KNOW THEY’RE TIMED OUT NICELY FOR NEXT WEEK’S CELEBRATION, BUT THIS RAIN IS GOING TO JUST BRING MORE FUEL. IT IS? YEAH, A LOT OF GREEN, A LOT OF NICE FLOWERS. THOSE TULIPS GET A NICE DRINK OF WATER, AND EVEN MORE SO AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, THROUGH THE REST OF THIS WEEK, WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THESE SHOWERS AND STORM CHANCES MOVING ON THROUGH. THIS IS THE MORNING ROUND THAT WE HAD. WE’RE SEEING THAT MAKE ITS WAY EVEN FARTHER NOW, JUST IMPACTING MAINLY EASTERN IOWA. STILL LAGGING SOME OF THESE SHOWERS LIKE OVER CENTERVILLE GO TO OTTUMWA, DOWN UP FARTHER EAST NOW OF OSKALOOSA ALONG I-80. NOW NOT GOING TO BE IMPACTING US THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. IN FACT, THOSE JUST PUSH ON OUT TO THE EAST FOR THE REST OF THIS MORNING. ONCE WE GET TO AROUND THE NOON HOUR, LUNCHTIME AND FOR THE AFTERNOON, WE’LL HAVE SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS, EVEN SOME ISOLATED STORM CHANCES AS WE GET TO AROUND 5:00 AS WELL FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. NOW, THIS IS GOING TO FAVOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STATE AS FAR AS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF TODAY. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WE ALL WILL HAVE SOME TYPE OF CHANCE TO HAVE SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS STILL HOLDING ON, GOING TO BE AN EARLY WAKE UP CALL AGAIN FOR SOME OF US. AS FAR AS SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER YET AGAIN, THEN GOING INTO THE REST OF WEDNESDAY MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE’LL HAVE GREATER SHOWERS AND STORM CHANCES, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE DAY AFTERNOON. OF COURSE, THE WARMEST PART OF THE DAY, THOSE STORMS, LIKE THOSE WARMER TEMPERATURES 70. AND WE’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH MORE OF THOSE STORMS AS WE GO INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING, OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY, AND THEN THURSDAY. THAT’S THE BEST CHANCE FOR US TO SEE PRETTY CONSISTENT OFF AND ON SHOWERS AND STORMS AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. GOING INTO EVEN THURSDAY NIGHT, WRAPPING UP AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY MORNING. NOW, HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE GOING TO GET FROM NOW ALL THE WAY UNTIL FRIDAY? IT’S GOING TO BE A DECENT SOAKING AROUND 1 TO 2IN OF RAINFALL AND EVEN SOME SPOTS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT, DEPENDING ON WHERE THOSE STORMS LIKE TO LINE UP. IN THE SAME LINE. GOING INTO WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THAT’S WHEN MOST OF THIS RAIN IS GOING TO BE FALLING, SO AT LEAST IT’S OVER A MATTER OF DAYS, NOT JUST IN ONE GO. SO WE AREN’T GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TOO HIGH OF A FLOODING THREAT, BUT IT IS GOING TO DEFINITELY LEAD TO SOME SOGGY CONDITIONS LATER ON THIS WEEK. HIGHS FOR TODAY. MID TO LOW 70S. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE WARMTH AS WE EVEN GO IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. TALKING ABOUT WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY ALL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT PASSES OVER US ON FRIDAY. THAT’S GOING TO BRING US THOSE RAIN CHANCES THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING, BUT THEN WE COOL THINGS DOWN. HIGHS BACK IN THE 60S, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WE DRY THINGS OUT END OF THE DAY. FRIDAY GOING INTO SATURDAY. SO WE AT LEAST HAVE ONE DRY DAY TO KNOCK OUT ANY CHORES YOU NEED TO RUN ANY ERRANDS OUTSIDE THAT YOU NEED TO SUNDAY. THAT’S WHEN T

Iowa weather: More storm chances this week
Some of us woke up to some passing storms very early this morning. Interactive Radar | Weather Alerts Some of these storms caused some gusty winds and even some nickel to pea sized hail, but overall non-damaging storms other than some vegetation for parts of Iowa. We will have a break through the rest of the morning before more rain chances for the afternoon as highs climb into the 70s. This does look to be mostly showers with some isolated storms. The better chance for storms will be later this evening into Wednesday early morning. These storms will have a low chance to become severe, but we are in a marginal severe weather risk (1 out of 5). A couple severe thunderstorms with some hail and gusty winds cannot be ruled out but there is no tornado threat for Iowa. A very slow moving, and even stationary at times, system will be over the Midwest this week, which will lead to these extended rain/storm chances. We wont see these come to an end until a cold front sweeps over Iowa Thursday night into Friday morning. We will finally catch a break from the rain Friday PM through Saturday. Until then, expect showers and storms with the highest chances Wednesday and Thursday. The weekend will be cooler and breezy. The break from the rain will not last as showers return Sunday and storm chances will be back Monday and Tuesday. Iowa weather forecastToday: Mostly cloudy early, then afternoon sunshine. High 67F. Winds WNW at 6 to 12 mph.Tonight: A few clouds overnight. Low 52F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.Tomorrow: Partly cloudy. A few showers and a storm or two possible. High 74F. Winds shifting from SWW at 10 to 15 mph.Tomorrow Night: Partly cloudy with some isolated showers and storms. Low near 53F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph.
