Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
356 AM CDT Thu Jun 8 2023

Today: 

The state was divided into to different weather areas overnight as
drier air entered far eastern Iowa. Temperatures had dropped into the
low to mid 50s in east central Iowa where comfortable humidity levels
and clear skies were common. Progressing farther west across the
state, humidity levels increased along with temperatures with readings
in the mid to upper 60s in far western Iowa overnight. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms were also occurring across the western third
of the state overnight with light southeast winds statewide.

The threat for storms remains across the west into this morning before
some gradual decrease in coverage. Otherwise, the lower dewpoints in
eastern Iowa spread west into today with more comfortable humidity
levels across the eastern half of the state. Highs today will be
somewhat cooler with highs mostly from 75 to 80 degrees across the
state.


Tonight and beyond: 

Relatively quiet weather is expected tonight with pleasant overnight 
readings. A few showers may linger in far western Iowa but relatively 
clear skies are expected in most locations. Slightly warmer 
temperatures are forecast into Friday with an increasing threat for a 
few storms in the far west by late in the day. The chance for storms 
will increase across the state into Saturday into early Sunday as a 
system crosses the state. Temperatures are forecast to remain near 
normal into the weekend as well.
