There is a chance of an widely scattered thunderstorm tonight, mainly in the NE 1/2 of Iowa. The thunderstorms aren’t expected to be severe but could produce brief heavy rainfall and gusty winds to 40 mph.

This afternoon skies are sunny to partly cloudy with low humidity and temperatures a few degrees either side of 80. Heat Indices are as high as the lower 80s in a few places. A great day to be at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
