A cold front is moving through the area this morning, and has produced very little aside from clouds. Expect some clouds around this morning, giving way to a mostly sunny sky by afternoon. Highs today will be seasonal once again with lower 80s. Tonight, high pressure will sit overhead, giving us clear sky and little wind so some 50s will be likely. Next chance of rain doesn't really arrive for the area until sometime on Friday with Isolated Showers thru the weekend. Right now, it's looking like the heaviest rainfall and some severe weather will occur in SW Iowa with a shot at about 1/4" in Pow County - we could use more.

Fri thru Mon 19th-22nd: Breezy - Isolated Tshowers Fri, Sat, and into Sun Morning (1/4"-1/2" Rain) - then Dry Sun afternoon/Monday - Temps Low/Mid 80's.

We need rain! Here's what the National Weather Service Drought Monitor is saying about Iowa and surrounding states: Central and Midwest: Drought impacts have developed quickly in the Corn Belt states of South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. Multiple days of 100+ degree temperatures have combined with below average precipitation over the last few weeks to stress the corn plants, particularly in areas with sandier soils or areas with delayed planting due to a wet spring. This “flash drought” is depicted as D1, moderate drought, in southeastern South Dakota, and from southeast Iowa to central Indiana. The soybean regions have not reported similar conditions thus far.
