Iowa Heatwave Hits Hard This Week | Des Moines News

Iowa’s sweltering under a relentless heat dome, with temps hitting 100°F and humidity turning outdoor spaces into sticky traps—especially in the southeast. A sliver of relief may arrive via scattered showers in the northwest, but most of the state’s bracing for oppressive heat and minimal storm chances. Thursday repeats the misery, with storms possibly flirting with Des Moines. Friday offers a brief reprieve, but storms return Friday night into Saturday. The real fireworks threat? Saturday night’s Fourth of July, where spotty storms could disrupt celebrations. Finally, Sunday brings much-needed highs in the 80s—welcome relief after a brutal heatwave.
