Forecast: Mercury rises as smoke lingers

DES MOINES, Iowa — We’ve added a couple of degrees to the thermometer even with the smoke aloft Saturday, and we’ll do so again Sunday and Monday. Your weather timeline steps you through it:

Lows Saturday night will be on the mild side, and we head into a warmer Sunday. Smoke will stick around into Monday.

Our next thunderstorm chance comes Tuesday, and it’s conceivable that we’ll see a stronger storm in southeastern Iowa later in the day. We’ll monitor. Rain should wrap up early Tuesday evening.

Another rain chance comes for some of us Thursday. Totals for the two rain events could exceed an inch in places.

Tuesday’s strong storm chance is the only one on tap for the next week or so, as our quiet severe weather season continues.

Highs for the next six days are above, and your WHO 13 7-day forecasts below:

The extended forecasts below keep us in below-average temperatures, though it appears chances for heavier rain and stronger storms could increase by the middle of June.
