By Monday afternoon and evening, the atmosphere will have warmed enough to bring thunderstorm chances to Iowa, as seen in the computer model graphic below.
The Storm Prediction Center is highlighting western and central Iowa in a marginal severe risk area. Some late-day storms on Monday may produce gusty winds and hail. We'll be here to keep you updated on WHO 13 and on Iowa's Weather Channel.
By Tuesday, colder air will return to Iowa, setting us up for light snow and mix chances. Little in the way of accumulation is expected.
The good news is that we do have more much-needed rainfall on the way. While computer models don't necessarily do a great job of placement of heavier rain from convection/thunderstorms, you can see the POTENTIAL we have coming our way from Sunday evening into Monday night below.
Highs will warm tomorrow on a breezy Monday, then get colder again on a breezy Tuesday.
As seen in the images below, temperatures improve toward the end of the week. We do have another slight rain chance on Sunday.
