ROLLED THROUGH, BUT MORE RAIN IS EXPECTED TODAY. YES, AND ESPECIALLY STORM CHANCES AGAIN. THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. ONCE WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS TODAY. BUT WE'VE STARTED OFF OUR WEDNESDAY WITH SOME NICE WEATHER. WE'VE GOT SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS OUTSIDE AND A HIGH RIVER HERE LOOKING OUT OVER DES MOINES. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 70S ALREADY. SO WE'RE BACK UP TO THE MID 70S THIS AFTERNOON. THAT'S WHERE OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL END UP. AND WE'VE GOT WINDS OUT OF THE EAST SUSTAINED RIGHT NOW HERE IN DES MOINES AT ABOUT 16MPH. THERE ARE SOME VERY LIGHT SHOWERS STRETCHING ACROSS NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL IOWA. A LOT OF THIS NOT TOUCHING THE GROUND JUST QUITE YET, BUT IF YOU'RE IN THE VICINITY, YOU MAY RUN UNDER OR GET UNDER A FEW VERY LIGHT SPRINKLES THERE, SAY FROM STORM LAKE DOWN THROUGH LAKEVIEW, OVER TOWARDS IDA GROVE, DENISON AND CARROLL. AND THEN WE STRETCH UP TOWARDS KOSSUTH COUNTY, UP NEAR ALGONA, HERE OVER TO MASON CITY AS WELL. WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE LIGHT SHOWERS. SAY, FROM POCAHONTAS OVER TO HUMBOLDT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. BUT EVERYONE WILL SEE MORE OF A WIDESPREAD RAIN AND STORM CHANCE HERE HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY HERE IN THE METRO LOWER 70S WHERE THE CLOUDS ARE HANGING ON. WE'RE IN THE MID 70S CLOSER TOWARDS DES MOINES, 73 IN BOTH ANKENY AND AMES FOR THE LUNCH HOUR NEXT 12 HOURS HERE IN CENTRAL IOWA LOOK LIKE THIS. THE CLOUDS BUILD BACK IN AND OUR STORM CHANCES DO RAMP UP HERE. SAY CLOSER TOWARDS SIX SEVEN, 8:00 THIS EVENING. WE'LL SEE SOME LEFTOVER SHOWERS AND STORMS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THERE IS A POTENTIAL MAYBE FOR SOME OF THOSE TO BE ON THE STRONGER SIDE HERE THIS AFTERNOON. DOON EXTRA CLOUDS ROLLING IN HERE LATER ON TODAY AS THOSE STORMS DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA. AGAIN, RIGHT AROUND DINNERTIME OR JUST AFTER THE DINNER HOUR. AND THEN WE'LL STILL SEE SOME HEAVY RAIN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER HERE. THIS IS JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. HEAVIEST RAIN STRETCHING ACROSS NORTHERN AND NORTHEAST EASTERN IOWA OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT WE GET INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY AND TOMORROW. IT'S KIND OF A GLOOMY DAY WITH LIGHT SHOWERS OFF AND ON, LOTS OF CLOUDS AND A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE OUT OF THE NORTH SO IT WILL FEEL A LITTLE BIT CHILLIER HEADING INTO OUR THURSDAY. EVENTUALLY WE CLEAR THINGS OUT BY THURSDAY EVENING AND THEN I THINK WE ARE BACK TO SOME SUNSHINE AS WE GET I INTO THE DY ON FRIDAY. WON'T BE RAINING ALL DAY TOMORROW, BUT I THINK THERE WILL BE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS OUT THERE THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY. ON THURSDAY. AS FAR AS RAIN GOES, WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME NEIGHBORHOODS PICKING UP OVER AN INCH OF RAIN AGAIN, IF YOU GET UNDER ONE OF THOSE HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS WITH SOME HEAVIER DOWNPOURS DEVELOPING AGAIN, MAIN TRACK OF THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR MAIN FOCAL POINT, I SHOULD SAY, ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL INTO NORTHEAST, NORTHEASTERN IOWA HERE POTENTIALLY UPWARDS OF AN INCH OF RAIN, IF NOT MORE IN SOME OF THESE SPOTS. SO WE'VE GOT MORE RAIN COMING AND THEN WE DO GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK AS WE HEAD INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. SO TODAY'S FORECAST CLOSER TO 80. THE FURTHER EAST YOU GO. WE'RE IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S HERE IN CENTRAL IOWA. TONIGHT'S FORECAST DROPS US BACK DOWN INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S. WE GET INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. WE'RE TALKING TEMPERATURES MID 60S HERE. SO A GOOD TEN DEGREES COOLER THAN WHAT WE'VE SEEN FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS WEEK. SO FAR. WE'RE BACK TO THE 70S ON FRIDAY AS WELL AS
