Iowa Heat Wave Intensifies with Storm Threat | Des Moines News

Central Iowa is facing a brutal heat wave that’s already hitting with temps in the upper 80s to low 90s and heat indices soaring into the low hundreds. A Heat Advisory is in effect until Sunday at noon, but things escalate Sunday at noon with an Extreme Heat Warning — highs in the upper 90s and heat indices hitting 115 degrees. Dangerous conditions persist through Sunday night with another Extreme Heat Watch, keeping heat indices dangerously high. A storm system rolling in from South Dakota Saturday night may bring relief with heavy rain and hail, but don’t count on it. Temperatures dip slightly Tuesday but stay uncomfortably warm through the week, with scattered storms possible. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and don’t underestimate this heat.
