Seven southeast Iowa counties are under a heat advisory until 8 o’clock tonight as high temperatures are forecast in the lower 90s with a heat index over 100 degrees.
Meteorologist Jim Lee, at the National Weather Service in Johnston, says a cold front should move in later tonight…
“While it’s going to provide some relief to the northern and northwestern parts of the state in the form of a little bit cooler weather, unfortunately, the front’s going to stall near the Iowa/Missouri border and we’re going to have several upper level systems moving overhead throughout the week that are going to cause a lot of rainfall to form along that old boundary.”
Lee said it’s too early to say how much rain is expected with this system.
The precipitation is expected to pull out of the state by Friday, promising the possibility for a dry holiday weekend.
