Des Moines residents should prepare for a rainy weekend as scattered thunderstorms are expected to arrive on Saturday. Warm and sunny weather will continue today, with highs reaching near 87 degrees. However, rain chances increase significantly by Saturday morning, with widespread showers expected to impact much of the state, particularly in the southern regions.
According to the National Weather Service in Des Moines, storms are likely to continue into Sunday, cooling temperatures down to the 60s. Local drivers, especially those using I-80 and I-35, are urged to plan for possible delays and slippery roads. The storms may also affect outdoor plans, so residents are encouraged to move events indoors or keep an eye on changing conditions.
Temperatures will gradually cool further into early next week, with highs in the 60s on Monday before rebounding into the 70s later in the week.
