Strong storms blew through parts of west-central and central Iowa early this (Friday) morning, causing power lines and tree limbs to fall. The National Weather Service reports winds blowing from 55-to 70 mile per hour spanned the State from Humboldt to Des Moines, affecting Humboldt, Jefferson, Bagley, Bayard, Des Moines and Murray, to name a few of the communities. Hail ranging in size from an inch to 1.5 inches accompanied the storms in Humboldt, Murray and Dakota City. 20,000 homes were said to be without power this morning in central Iowa, according to Mid-American Energy,

The storms began at around 2:30-a.m. and picked up intensity as they rolled through the area and finally fizzled out in central Iowa before moving into southeastern Iowa. There were no reports of injuries.

(Radio Iowa) – This primary election day is forecast to be the hottest day of the year so far, with highs hitting the 90s across much of Iowa for the first time in 2020. That’s a big contrast to the just-ended month of May which wrapped up cooler than normal, according to state climatologist Justin Glisan. “We were about two-and-a-half degrees below average across the state and colder than average across the Midwest,” Glisan says. “We had a lot of cloudy days, a lot of daily highs that were below average.”

As for precipitation across Iowa, Glisan says May was fairly typical. “We’re looking at about four or four-and-a-half inches of rainfall across the state, which is about average,” Glisan says. “There are sections of the state in which we have drier-than-normal conditions. That’s where we saw some D-zero introduced by the U.S. Drought Monitor. D-zero is not drought. It’s abnormal dryness.”

Forecasting models are showing inconclusive predictions for Iowa’s weather during June, as some are indicating a warmer, drier month ahead while others show it’ll be cooler and wetter.  “Typically, when we’re in the summertime when we do see wetter-than-normal conditions, that’s tightly coupled with cooler-than-average conditions,” Glisan says. “There is an expectation that perhaps June could be warm and then we get to near-normal or slightly cooler conditions moving into July and August.”

The first day of summer arrives June 20th.
