Carter Lake, Iowa – Scorching heat and scattered storms will shape the weekend in western Iowa, just in time for Father’s Day. Temperatures near 92°F and multiple thunderstorm chances could bring wind, lightning, and downpours to the Carter Lake-Omaha area—especially from Saturday night through Monday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, Friday will stay mostly sunny with highs near 89°F and south winds up to 10 mph. The first chance for showers and thunderstorms arrives late Saturday night (20% chance), increasing to 30% by Sunday evening and peaking at 40% Sunday night. These storms may bring brief downpours and wind gusts up to 18 mph.
The heat will hold through early next week with Monday topping out at 92°F. Showers and thunderstorms return again Monday night, continuing into Tuesday. Travel near I-29 could be impacted if storms intensify, and families planning outdoor Father’s Day activities should monitor updates.
Prepare now by charging devices, securing outdoor furniture, and staying weather-aware—especially Saturday night through Monday night. Hydration is key during high heat days, especially for older adults and children.
Additional alerts may follow as storm confidence increases heading into early next week.
