Never miss the weather that matters most. The ISCN Weather app goes far beyond the basic alerts found in most weather apps by giving you 72 customizable alert types that you control.

Instead of only receiving National Weather Service watches and warnings, you can also be notified when hail, heavy rain, snow, or a dangerous storm is approaching your location, when lightning is detected within 15 miles, or when a twisting storm is heading your way.

Even better, alerts aren't limited to where you are—you can set them up for your current location and any additional locations you choose, making it easy to stay informed about home, work, family members, vacation destinations, or anywhere else that's important to you.

Every alert type can be turned on or off individually, so you only receive the notifications that matter most. Whether you're tracking severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, winter weather, or simply want to know when rain is about to arrive, the ISCN Weather app delivers timely, location-specific alerts that help you stay one step ahead of the storm.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of southwest Iowa under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for isolated severe thunderstorms Saturday evening and overnight.

As a disturbance moves out of the Rockies Saturday evening, there is a small chance that isolated thunderstorms could develop across southern Nebraska before moving into southwest Iowa.

There is still considerable uncertainty regarding whether storms will develop at all. Increasing warm air aloft may prevent thunderstorms from forming, but if storms are able to develop, a few could become severe. The primary threats would be large hail and strong wind gusts.

Looking ahead, much hotter weather is expected to arrive Sunday and continue into early next week. Afternoon temperatures in the 90s combined with increasing humidity could push heat index values above 100° in many areas.

Summer is coming…

After a fairly comfortable stretch of weather, Iowa is looking at a significant warm-up start late this weekend and through the 4th of July holiday weekend.

Long-range forecast models continue to show a strong ridge of high pressure building across much of the central and eastern United States, bringing a prolonged stretch of above-normal temperatures to much of the Midwest.

Confidence continues to grow that this could be one of the hottest periods we’ve experienced so far this summer. If you have plans for fireworks, camping, or other outdoor holiday activities, be prepared for the heat. Stay hydrated, limit prolonged time in the sun, and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning whenever possible.

We’ll continue to monitor the forecast and provide updates as we get closer.

This week marks the two-year anniversary of the historic flooding that devastated parts of northwest Iowa.

Between June 20-22, 2024, repeated rounds of heavy rain dropped 2 to 6 inches across much of the region, with some locations receiving more than 12 inches. The record-breaking rainfall sent rivers to unprecedented levels, destroying homes, businesses, roads, and bridges while forcing thousands of Iowans from their homes. By June 22, a state disaster had been declared for 22 Iowa counties.

The photos in this post were captured by ISCN Storm Chaser Dan Gottschalk as he documented the flooding and its impact on communities across northwest Iowa.

The National Weather Service has upgraded the peak wind gust recorded at the Marshalltown Municipal Airport during the June 17th severe weather event from 94 mph to 107 mph following a review of 1-minute ASOS data.

The higher wind gust was not initially reported due to a communications outage at the weather station. However, the missing data has since been recovered and analyzed, revealing that the strongest wind gust reached 107 mph.

Damage observed at and around the airport was consistent with winds of this magnitude, helping to corroborate the updated measurement.

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued until 10PM Wednesday (6/24) for portions of northeast and east-central Iowa. Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will further develop through mid/late afternoon with bouts of severe hail and damaging winds as the primary hazards.

A period of hot and humid weather may impact Iowa late this weekend and into next week.

The Weather Prediction Center has included all of Iowa in its Day 3-7 Hazardous Heat Outlook. This means there is at least a 40% probability that widespread National Weather Service Heat Advisory criteria could be met somewhere across the state during the outlook period.

We've broken down what this outlook means and what you should know heading into next week.

🌡️ Warmer Weather Expected to Return Across Iowa Next Week 🌡️

After experiencing an unusually cool stretch of weather across Iowa this past week, signs are pointing toward a much warmer pattern as we close out June and begin July. The latest outlook from the Climate Prediction Center favors above-normal temperatures across the Midwest, including Iowa, from June 29 through July 3.

A large area of high pressure is expected to expand across the central and eastern United States. This pattern will allow warmer air to build northward into Iowa, replacing the cooler-than-normal conditions we’ve experienced recently.

The Climate Prediction Center places Iowa in an area with a strong likelihood of above-normal temperatures during the 6-10 day period. While we’re not forecasting specific temperatures this far out, the overall pattern supports a return to typical summer heat, with some days potentially running several degrees above average.

The warm-up could continue into the days leading up to the Independence Day holiday weekend. After a week that felt more like late spring than summer, Iowa may be in for a much different weather pattern as July begins.
