Des Moines, IA – Thunderstorms are expected to sweep across Des Moines today, bringing the possibility of severe weather, including gusty winds and hail. Residents should prepare for potential hazards, especially during the late afternoon and evening, when storms will intensify.
According to the National Weather Service, a sagging cold front will move into the area, triggering widespread storms. These storms may bring strong winds and large hail, particularly in central and southern Iowa. Drivers on major roadways like Interstate 80 are advised to exercise caution, as heavy rain could reduce visibility.
Sunday will continue with more showers and temperatures dropping into the 60s. As the cold front moves through, cooler weather is expected to linger into early next week, with highs only reaching the 60s on Monday. Des Moines residents should remain weather-aware this weekend, securing outdoor objects and monitoring for updates as the storms progress.
