DES MOINES, Iowa — We’ve had three nearly identical days since Mother’s Day, and we look to add more heat Wednesday. The weather timeline steps you into Thursday.

Lows Tuesday night will stay mild, setting us up for a hotter day on Wednesday, with highs getting close to 90 in many areas. Winds will gust to around 25 mph.

The slideshow above takes you through Thursday’s rain chances, which begin with spotty chances around midnight. A line of storms will then cross northern Iowa during the early morning hours, and we’ll see another area of rain Thursday evening in northern and northwest Iowa. It will be a windy day, with gusts to 40 mph at times. Rainfall amounts won’t be impressive, but will be heaviest in the northwest part of the state.

Temperatures cool behind Thursday’s system into the 70s, and stay that way through the weekend. Our next, better, chance of rain comes Monday into Tuesday, as the European computer model shows you below. Highs for the next six days follow.

A cooling trend is ahead in your WHO 13 7-day outlooks. Have a great evening!
