DES MOINES, Iowa — We didn’t get as warm as we thought we would Sunday, as smoke aloft knocked a few degrees off our highs. Stronger south winds will kick in on Monday and push temps and dewpoints up, setting us up for Tuesday storms. The weather timeline steps you through the variables in three-hourly increments:

Low’s Sunday night will be warmer than the past few, helping set us up for a hotter Monday. As we move into the late afternoon, we’ll see the smoke aloft exit east as the jet stream pattern changes.

The Storm Prediction Center and Colorado State’s severe weather algorithm have eastern Iowa pegged for stronger storms Tuesday. Wind and hail would be the main threats.

It appears the best window for storm chances Tuesday in central Iowa will come between 3 a.m. and 7 p.m. Predicted rainfall amounts look pretty good!

We have isolated shower chances both Thursday and Saturday in the forecast. Rain chances look to be a little higher next Saturday night and Sunday as things stand on June 1st.

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

It does appear that we’ll enter a wetter pattern by mid-month, though we look to end June a bit above-average in terms of temperature.
