DES MOINES, Iowa — Monday was nearly a carbon copy (does anyone younger than 40 know what that is?) of Mother’s Day in Central Iowa, with warm temperatures and light wind. Your weather timeline takes you through Tuesday and into a hotter Wednesday.

Lows Monday will again be mild. Tuesday will be similar again temperature-wise, but we may see a spotty shower east of I-35 in the afternoon. Most will stay dry. Wednesday will be hot, with highs close to 90 degrees. Then a system approaching from the west will bring two rounds of rain to the state. One will move across the north during the early morning, while the second will again affect areas mainly north of I-80 during the late afternoon and evening on what will be a breezy day. The images below walk you through the next few days:

We won’t see a lot of rain from Thursday’s system, and again folks south of Highway 30 may miss out on rainfall entirely. We will see cooler temperatures move into Iowa starting Friday, as shown in the slideshow below.
