AND MAYBE WANTING TO HEAD DOWNTOWN FOR THE FARMERS MARKET, RIGHT? JUST IN TIME FOR THE FIRST MARKET OF THE SEASON, I THINK THERE WILL BE WET WEATHER AS THE FOLKS ARE SETTING UP CLOSER TOWARDS SIX 7:00 TOMORROW MORNING. FOR SURE. BY NINE, I THINK THE RAIN STARTS TO WANE. JUST A TOUCH. THERE COULD BE A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS OUT THERE, BUT THEN HEADING CLOSER TOWARDS LUNCHTIME, WE'RE LOOKING AT A MOSTLY CLOUDY AND DRY MIDDAY. IT DOES DRY OUT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, BUT IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE FOR THOSE CLOUDS TO MOVE OUT AND TEMPERATURES I THINK WILL BE BACK INTO THE MID 60S FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TOMORROW. SO A LITTLE BIT OF A COOLER START TO THE WEEKEND. WE'VE GOT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES COMING OUR WAY. THERE'S A FEW HIGH CLOUDS, ESPECIALLY UP INTO NORTHERN IOWA, AND THEN BACK OUT TOWARDS WESTERN IOWA. THESE SHOWERS VERY LIMITED RIGHT NOW AND EVENTUALLY SHOULD WANE AS THEY TRY TO MAKE THEIR WAY CLOSER TO CENTRAL IOWA. TODAY WE'LL BE DRY. WE'VE GOT THE RAIN COMING IN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO THE START OF THE DAY TOMORROW, TEMPERATURE WISE FOR THE LUNCH HOUR. GREAT DAY TO TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE, PERHAPS AT LUNCHTIME. WE'RE TALKING MID AND UPPER 60S RIGHT NOW. VERY COMFORTABLE. TEMPERATURES RUNNING 510 DEGREES WARMER THAN THIS SAME TIME YESTERDAY. AS FAR AS WHAT IT'S LOOKING LIKE FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAY. AGAIN, I THINK THE SUNSHINE STICKS AROUND. MAYBE A FEW CLOUDS ROLLING IN BY THIS EVENING. WE'VE GOT SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS. IT COMES OUT OF EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO WESTERN IOWA AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THIS IS AROUND 3 A.M. WE SHOULD SEE A LINE OF SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORM AMES SUB SEVERE STORMS, THOUGH, MAYBE SOME GUSTY WINDS. HEAVY RAIN, OF COURSE. LIGHTNING AND THUNDER. BUT AS THIS LINE MOVES CLOSER TOWARDS CENTRAL IOWA, WE'RE LOOKING AT WET WEATHER TO START OFF THE DAY ON SATURDAY, CLOSE TO SIX 7:00 IN THE MORNING. THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS START TO DIMINISH HERE AS WE GET INTO THE MID-MORNING HOURS EAST OF I 35, SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE RAINING ALL DAY. I THINK MOST OF THE DAYTIME HOURS ON SATURDAY END UP BEING DRY EVENTUALLY. SOME CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY WE'LL CLEAR SKIES OUT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. IF YOU HAVE PLANS SATURDAY EVENING AND THEN BACK TO SUNSHINE GOING INTO THE END OF THE WEEKEND. ON SUNDAY WE'RE LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAIN, THOUGH MORE MEASURABLE RAIN FOR ALMOST EVERYONE ACROSS THE STATE. UH, WITH THIS SYSTEM THAT COMES THROUGH TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. SO WE'RE TALKING ANYWHERE FROM A HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH, ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA, STRETCHING BACK DOWN INTO SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. SO ANOTHER HEALTHY DOSE OF RAIN YESTERDAY, PICKING UP ABOUT A HALF AN INCH OF RAIN HERE IN DES MOINES, WHERE AGAIN, ABOVE NORMAL SO FAR, OF COURSE, WE JUST KICKED OFF MAY, BUT WE'RE ABOVE NORMAL AND AS FAR AS OUR YEAR TO DATE RAINFALL GOES, WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A DEFICIT, BUT WE HAVE SHRUNK THAT TO ABOUT AN INCH BELOW WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO TODAY'S FORECAST INTO THE 70S. PRETTY NICE FRIDAY. TONIGHT'S FORECAST HAS US BACK DOWN INTO THE 50S AS CLOUDS ROLL IN TONIGHT, SHOWERS AND A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. DAYTIME HOURS AFTER NOON ARE DRY. FIRST PART OF THE DAY. TOMORROW WILL BE WET. A LITTLE BIT COOLER FOR SATURDAY. HIGHS IN THE MID 60S. 70 ON SUNDAY.
