Iowa is bracing for a warm and sunny week, with summer heat ramping up across the state. According to the latest forecast, highs will reach the upper 80s today, with a slight breeze from the east. Mugginess won’t be a concern yet, with feels-like temperatures staying under 90 degrees.
Week Ahead
Starting tomorrow, highs will reach the low 90s, with gradual warming each day. A rise in humidity is likely by the end of the week, with feels-like temperatures also increasing. The good news is that the patchy fog that’s been affecting some parts of the state will clear out this morning, making way for sunny skies.
High pressure in place over the state means that Iowa will be dry for the next few days, with very low rain chances. This is great news for outdoor events, such as Summer fest in Ankeny, which wraps up today. If you’re planning on attending, be sure to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen, as the sun will be shining brightly.
The warm weather is expected to continue into the weekend, with highs staying in the 90s. While it may get a bit muggy, the humidity will still be relatively low compared to previous weeks. So, if you’re not a fan of the heat, be sure to take precautions and stay cool.
