CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – Our wonderful weather continues tonight.
Great weather tonight
After another fantastic day, the great weather continues as our overnight lows drop to 10-12 degrees, with mostly clear skies and light winds. It’s going to be a wonderful night for any outdoor activities you have planned.
Excellent weather forecast for Sunday
Our pleasant weather tonight will turn into another wonderful day on Sunday. Highs will reach 25 to 30 degrees, while the dew point will remain very pleasant at 10 degrees. We’ll see partly cloudy skies and light winds from the west. Take some time to get outside and do some of your favorite activities, whether that’s exercising, bird watching, or sitting on a blanket and reading a book.
Your first warning: Sunday night and Monday the chance of rain is back
Late Sunday night into early Monday morning, we expect increasing cloud cover and scattered showers across Eastern Iowa. Thunderstorms are also possible as we have a cloudy and in some cases wet start to the work week. Cloud cover will persist for most of Monday morning and afternoon while scattered showers and a few thunderstorms linger in the area. This will keep our highs in the upper 20s.
Your first warning: Seasonal temperatures and active weather are returning
It’ll be dry again on Tuesday, but as the work week progresses we’ll be in the transition zone between very warm air to the southwest and cooler air to the northeast. This transition zone is where the jet stream will form, and as disturbances move along the jet stream, they’ll move over our area, bringing us periodic storm threats. We’ll have more details on the exact timing and impacts toward the middle and end of next week, but for now consider this your first warning of more changeable weather. This setup will also bring a return to seasonable temperatures between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. Humidity will also return as dew points gradually rise to 18 to 20 degrees Celsius by midweek.
