Wednesday was a beauty with lots of sunshine, light winds and just a few clouds. Well, the only thing that going to change going into Thursday would be more clouds in our sky. However, it looks like our rain chances are pretty skimpy through most of the day Thursday with a fairly dry wind from the ESE most of the day. Look for maybe an isolated shower possible especially for western and southern counties though.
Friday will bring a better chance for some rain early in the day and again later after 8 PM for central Iowa. The morning showers will be associated with some warmer, more moist air returning from the south while the later chance will be a cool front passing through closer to midnight here. But ahead of this front will be a line of showers and storms. Some of these could get heavier mainly south and east of the Metro
The good news is that the rain and clouds will be moving out pretty quickly, so I expect a good deal of sunshine Saturday in all of Iowa. Temperatures will be in the 60s for most of the morning hours and in the 70s most of the afternoon with NW breeze about 7-12 mph. That sounds perfect for watching the big game in Iowa City or anywhere in central Iowa!
Have a good one!
