Dangerous Heat and Storms Ahead | Des Moines News

Central Iowa faces a brutal heatwave with highs hitting the upper 80s to low 90s, and heat indexes soaring to 100-105 degrees—stay hydrated. The real danger? Two rounds of thunderstorms, especially Monday, with damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rain possible, and a slight tornado risk in northern areas. The first storm system arrives late Sunday night, weakening slightly, while the second, Monday evening, could be severe due to unstable air. Relief comes Tuesday as storms clear and temps drop into the 80s with less humidity and breezy northwest winds. A few scattered showers may linger through midweek, but next weekend brings the return of summer heat, back into the low 90s.
