dpStrong to severe storms are possible this evening as a line continues to push through, mainly areas south of I-80 and east of I-35. Storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado or two.Closings | Interactive Radar | Weather Alerts | Skycams Storms will move out of the area by around 10–11 PM, with a brief lull that will carry us to around 4–5 AM, after which a potent line of storms will surge into the state, bringing the potential for damaging wind gusts of 60–70 mph. Some rain and clouds may linger into the late morning, which may muddy our atmosphere a bit before the next round of storms fires by Thursday afternoon/evening.With that said, there’s still some question as to how much the atmosphere can recharge after the morning storms move out. If it cannot, much of central Iowa will have a quieter evening. If it can, storms may again impact the same locations, with areas east of I-35 and south of Marshalltown having the greatest potential for additional strong to severe storms. These storms will again have the potential for large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado or two.Once storms move out Thursday evening, we’ll see an extended lull throughout Friday that will leave us with a pretty nice day, with highs in the low 80s under sunny skies.Another piece of energy will move through Saturday, bringing an end to our quiet weather and also bringing some potential for strong storms back to Iowa. Details on this system are still somewhat murky, but if you do have outdoor plans Saturday, it’ll be something to keep an eye on as we get closer.Once Saturday’s system moves out, winds from the north will take hold, keeping our temperatures down into the low to mid-70s. With dew points in the low 50s, it’ll feel a whole lot more comfortable. We’ll keep the dry skies and 70s in the forecast through at least the middle of next week.Keep an eye on weather across Iowa with KCCI’s skycamsWeather watchers can keep an eye on conditions by checking our skycam page, which shows aerial views from more than 25 sites across the state.Iowa weather forecast:Today: Scattered showers possible in the morning, then hot and windy.
