Forecasters say stormy weather is ahead this week for much of the state along with warmer temperatures and higher humidity levels. Meteorologist Kevin Skow, at the National Weather Service, says some parts of the state were seeing dark clouds already this (Monday) morning.

Skow says, “Today will be just the first of a series of rounds of thunderstorms that will be impacting the state throughout much of the work week.” There’s a chance of severe weather in addition to drenching rains that could bring flash flooding.

“There could be some localized heavy amounts of rainfall,” Skow says. “These storms may be slowly moving at times and total amounts of rainfall could easily be an inch in many locations with localized amounts higher than that.”

After highs across the state last week in the 60s and 70s, this week will be much more summer-like, with highs expected in the 70s and low 80s.

Sunday’s High in Atlantic was 79. Our 24-hour Low thru 7-a.m. today was 49. Last year on this date, our High in Atlantic was 66 and the low was 56. The All-time Record High in Atlantic on this date was 97 in 1939. The Record Low was 26 in 1963.

A color-coded rainfall map of Iowa shows the western third of the state in deep purple hues while most of eastern Iowa is multiple shades lighter, in yellow and orange. Jeff Zogg, a hydrologist at the National Weather Service, says parts of water-logged western Iowa have seen 200-percent more rain than average since mid-April, while areas in the much-drier east are only at 50-percent.

“It’s been much wetter across the western part of the state than the eastern part of the state,” Zogg says. “You get near the Missouri River in western Iowa and rainfall totals over the past month have been twice the normal amount. On the other hand, you get to northeast Iowa, some location have half the normal amounts, so, quite the change across the state.”

While parts of southwest Wisconsin are experiencing near-drought conditions, Zogg does -not- think that’s likely here. “At this point, we’re not expecting drought conditions to materialize across the eastern part of the state,” Zogg says. “We’ve had some persistent wet weather across the western part of the state but we’re seeing an evolution in the weather pattern, especially for the next month or so. It looks like wet weather will be overspreading more of the state. The wetness won’t be confined just to western Iowa.”

Compared to last week, the week ahead is expected to bring big changes in the forecast with warmer temperatures and the likelihood for multiple showers and the potential for heavy rain and severe weather.
