Heat and dry weather is back on track/continuing- Low to mid 90s next 5 days. Next descent chance of rain Tuesday-Wednesday next week with a cold front that will cool us down late week.

Regional Weather map

Across the region a hot and humid airmass is back in place. A stationary front meandering northward and southward around the Minnesota/Iowa boarder will produce a broken up amount of days in the 90s north of that front, however south of the front will have a continues 4-5 day streak of 90s. This will include Eastern Iowa. There will be a chance of hitting 100 mainly for large metropolitan areas. Our areas hottest day which will be Saturday will probably see highs in the middle 90s. Heat index values will approach 100 a few of those days. Lows will range from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Each day will be sunny through Tuesday of next week, with Eastern Iowas only chance of rain-meaning a stray shower or storm though that time bring Saturday Night and it wont be a night to count on very many people seeing rain. Tuesday however after seeing around low to mid 90 degree day will bring our areas 1st chance of rain in some time. A cold front moving in from the north should produce thunderstorms along it as it moves through the area.  Right now the timing looks good for us, Tuesday night into Wednesday for seeing storms. I do believe there would be a chance of severe weather with the storms. The cold front will bring much cooler pleasant weather with temperatures in the upper 70s and much lower humidity for Thursday

Looking Ahead

Next weekend will be cooler with skies ranging from mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Clouds will increase late Sunday. Temperatures will be in the 70s with lows in the 50s and 60s. Monday September 16th will bring another chance of rain to Eastern Iowa in the form of showers and thunderstorms. Tuesday and Wednesday, a warm up, it will be sunny with warm to hot temperatures back up into the 90s. Then the models show a chance of a strong storm system Friday September 20th through Saturday the 21st bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms and abundant rains. This storm at this point through is very far out so it is hard to consider it fact or just another glimpse of hope for rain for Iowa.
