(Radio Iowa) – There’s still no drought in Iowa, but the number of counties where the soil is considered abnormally dry has almost doubled in the past week, bouncing from around 16 counties to nearly 31, according to the latest U-S Drought Monitor map. Angie Rieck Hinz, a field agronomist with the Iowa State University Extension, says crop conditions in her region of north-central Iowa are improving.
It requires a delicate balance of both rain and sunshine to grow crops, and this season’s been heavy on the rain so far, as a change of pace from nearly four years of drought. Rieck Hinz says the gusty winds are also an issue.
Iowa’s backyard gardeners know how tough it is to keep out the weeds, so imagine what it’s like for farmers with a few hundred acres of crops. She says weeds are sprouting in many fields right and left.
Forecasters say temperatures will rise back into the 80s and 90s today (Friday) and for the next several days across much of Iowa, with the chance for scattered showers through Saturday.

(Radio Iowa) – A class of Iowa State University students got a first hand look at severe weather this spring in a course on identifying how storms develop. Dave Floury is one of the course instructors.
Floury, who is in the Atmospheric Sciences Department at I-S-U, says some students had been storm chasing, but wanted a more structured and safe experience.
He says they talked about the science of how thunderstorms and tornadoes form, and then went on an eight-day trip to observe them.
Their trip started in central Kansas, when to northeastern Colorado, then southwest Iowa and southwest Kansas. They also got a tour of the national Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. And finished up by running with storms in northern Oklahoma and southwest Missouri.

(Radio Iowa) – Summer officially arrives later this week but the heat and humidity are already settled in across Iowa. Much of the state’s northern third was under a severe thunderstorm watch this (Monday) morning, while a wide area of eastern Iowa has a heat advisory in effect until 8 o’clock tonight. Meteorologist Rod Donavon, at the National Weather Service, says it’ll be a steamy day ahead for most of the state.
Heat indices may reach triple digits in eastern Iowa, as the heat advisory covers cities including Cedar Rapids, Iowa City Dubuque, Davenport, Burlington and Keokuk. Donavon says we may have a break from the heat at mid-week, but more storms are likely by week’s end.
Summer starts on Thursday.
