Iowa Rains Soak Central Ahead of Stormy Weekend | Des Moines News

Des Moines soaked up 3.56 inches of rain in a 24-hour stretch — most of it overnight — while Ames topped the state with 4.39 inches. Central Iowa lit up with heavy downpours, but southern and southeast Iowa stayed bone dry. This much-needed relief from the heat comes with a twist: stormy skies are brewing for the holiday weekend, with 50% storm chances today before 3 p.m. and rising to 60% tonight. Independence Day brings a 40% chance of showers in the morning, and storms linger into the weekend — so pack your umbrella if you’re planning outdoor fun.
