Iowa weather: Wet and stormy for some Sunday night

Rain showers will increase across the state today with breezy and cool conditions throughout the afternoon.

MISS ANY OF THE PEAK COLOR THIS YEAR. AND CHANCES ARE, AND THOSE TULIPS ARE GETTING A GOOD DRINK OF WATER TODAY. I WAS JUST THINKING THAT YOU PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, WET ROADWAYS THERE OFF INTO THE DISTANCE. WE’VE GOT SOME STEADY RAIN AROUND THE METRO AS A WHOLE TONIGHT, TODD AND YOU CAN SEE FROM OUR DOWNTOWN SKYCAM EARLIER WE SAID YOU COULDN’T SEE 8 TO 1 GRAND. NOW YOU CAN. SO SOME OF THOSE CLOUDS ARE LIFTING UP JUST A TOUCH, BUT IT’S STILL FAIRLY GLOOMY, DAMP AND A WET SUNDAY NIGHT FOR US. TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 40S WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. THEY’VE PICKED UP JUST A COUPLE OF MILES PER HOUR AT A SUSTAINED. NOW AT ABOUT 12MPH. SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT, AT LEAST THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS, THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE. AND THEN EVENTUALLY COMING TO AN END, PROBABLY CLOSER TOWARDS MIDNIGHT OR SO. THIS IS ALL RAIN. SO NO THUNDER OR LIGHTNING, JUST STEADY SHOWERS. NICE SLEEPING WEATHER HERE AS YOU’RE HEADED TO BED THIS EVENING. WE’VE GOT STEADY RAIN ALL AROUND THE METRO AREA AND AGAIN, SOME POCKETS OF HEAVIER RAIN HERE IN THE YELLOW. SO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF POLK COUNTY, LOOKING AT SOME STEADIER RAIN RIGHT ALONG I-35 AND POINTS EAST AND WEST RIGHT AROUND THE METRO AREA, DEALING WITH THE STEADY RAIN. NOW THIS EVENING, VISIBILITY IS LIMITED HERE AGAIN THANKS TO THE CLOUD COVER AND THE RAIN. SO WE’RE DOWN TO ABOUT TWO MILES OR JUST LESS THAN THAT IN DES MOINES. CLOSE TO THAT IN ANKENY AS WELL AS PERRY. SO THERE ARE SOME SPOTS OF LIMITED VISIBILITY OUT THERE THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES ARE PRETTY UNIFORM. WE’RE TALKING MID AND UPPER 40S AROUND THE METRO AREA AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. TONIGHT, I THINK WITH THE CLOUD COVER IN PLACE, TEMPERATURES WILL KIND OF HOLD STEADY THROUGH THE PREDAWN HOURS TOMORROW, LIKELY IN THE MID 40S AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON MONDAY, WE GET SOME SUNSHINE BACK SO IT WILL NOT BE CLOUDY ALL DAY TOMORROW. AND WITH THAT SUN, WE SHOULD WARM UP FAIRLY NICELY TOMORROW. MID 50S THERE BY LUNCHTIME. SO THE RAIN THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE TONIGHT, RIGHT NOW EVENTUALLY COMES TO AN END. SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST, DRY TO START OFF THE DAY. MAYBE SOME PATCHY FOG IN THE MORNING DEPENDING ON HOW BREEZY THOSE WINDS ARE. WE KEEP IT A LITTLE BREEZY TOMORROW OUT OF THE NORTH AND WEST, SO THERE WILL BE A LIGHT BREEZE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. MONDAY MONDAY EVENING IS QUIET. WE’VE GOT A WEAK SYSTEM THAT ROLLS THROUGH LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY THAT COULD BRING US SOME MORE SHOWERS, SCATTERED SHOWERS, AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THAT RAIN IS OUT OF HERE DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY, AND WE’LL BE BACK TO ANOTHER WARM DAY WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE MID 70S. SO TONIGHT, LOW 40S HERE AND WE’LL SEE SOME SHOWERS EVENTUALLY COMING TO AN END, PROBABLY CLOSER TOWARDS MIDNIGHT OR SO. TOMORROW WE’LL TAKE THINGS MID AND UPPER 60S OUT THERE WITH MORE SUNSHINE. DEFINITELY WARMER INTO WESTERN IOWA TOMORROW WITH HIGHS INTO THE MID 70S. WE JUMP UP ABOUT TEN DEGREES ON TUESDAY INTO THE MID 70S. WE’LL STAY IN THE 70S WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY BACK INTO THE MID 60S, AND THEN WE’LL KEEP TEMPERATURES HANGING OUT IN THE 60S RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OUR RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEK ARE TOWARDS THE FIRST HALF OF THE
