Carter Lake, Iowa – Thunderstorms could drench Carter Lake and surrounding areas by midday Tuesday, with heavy rain and gusty winds disrupting travel along I-29 and local roads.

According to the National Weather Service, a strong line of storms will move through the area on Tuesday, June 3rd, with the highest rain chances before 1 p.m. Winds from the northwest may gust up to 22 mph, and rainfall amounts could exceed a half-inch in some areas. Drivers should watch for ponding on roads and avoid flooded underpasses, especially near the Missouri River lowlands.

Localized power outages are possible where wind gusts knock branches into lines. Residents are encouraged to charge phones, secure outdoor furniture, and delay unnecessary travel until storms pass.

While Wednesday offers a brief return to sun and calmer air, the pattern shifts again Thursday as showers return by the afternoon, keeping the region in a cycle of damp and unsettled conditions into the weekend. Friday and Saturday may bring isolated thunderstorms, though less intense than Tuesday’s round.

Temperatures remain seasonably warm, holding in the mid-70s to low 80s through the end of the week — a classic early June summer pattern with hit-or-miss rain events.

⚠️ Stay tuned to local alerts as more advisories could be issued through Tuesday evening.
