THERE BECAUSE IT IS ANOTHER HOT DAY OUT THERE. JASON. THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THAT SHADE LIKE AN INDUSTRIAL SIZED FAN ON BOTH ENDS. JUST. YES, YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED THAT. THIS THESE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE JUST THEY'VE BEEN HOT AND WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO BE SEEING SOME RELIEF ROLL. ITS WAY IN. SOME PEOPLE GOT THAT RELIEF TODAY AS HEAT INDICES TO THE NORTH ARE IN THE UPPER 80S ONLY. SO STILL WARM, BUT NOT LIKE THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. SHERIDAN. YOUR HEAT INDEX IS AT 102 103 FOR CENTERVILLE OTTUMWA AT THE SAME. SO JUST T SWEATING TOGETHER DOWN THERE AND YOU LOOK ACROSS THE STATE, CLOUDS HAVE MADE THEIR WAY IN FOR MARSHALLTOWN. WE'VE GOT SHOWERS THAT ARE STARTING TO PUSH THEIR WAY ACROSS THE STATE AS WE SPEAK. AND SOME OF THOSE MAY MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN THROUGH THE METRO AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT ROLLING ITS WAY THROUGH RIGHT NOW, A COUPLE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT HAVE BEEN PUSHING TO THE SOUTH, AND ANOTHER ONE DOWN NEAR SHERIDAN. SO THESE TYPICALLY ARE LOCATIONS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOUPY AIR MASSES LIKE THIS. AS WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TO SEE SOME OF THOSE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS FIRE UP JUST SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI BORDER. THIS ONE CAPABLE OF HAIL TO THE TUNE OF AROUND AN INCH AND A QUARTER WINDS OF AROUND 60MPH. SO WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE STATE IN CASE WE DO HAPPEN TO SEE ANY MORE OF THOSE FIRE. WEAKER SHOWERS, THOUGH, UP THROUGH NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. AND AS WE LOOK AT HOW MUCH RAIN HAS FALLEN, IT HAS NOT BEEN THAT MUCH. I'M TALKING 507 INCH FOR AMES WATERLOO AT NEARLY 2/10 OF AN INCH, 16 HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH FOR FORT DODGE. TRACKING OUT THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WHAT WE'LL SEE TONIGHT AGAIN COULD JUST BE A COUPLE ISOLATED STORMS TO THE SOUTHEAST AND HEADING INTO YOUR DAY ON WEDNESDAY. ISOLATED ACTIVITY AS WELL THROUGH CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. THE MAIN THREAT OF STORMS, THOUGH, IS GOING TO WORK ITS WAY IN BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. THESE COULD ALSO BE STRONG TO SEVERE, BRINGING IN THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THOSE WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS AS WELL AS AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT, TORNADO THREAT WILL BE LOW WITH THESE, BUT IT WILL BE POSSIBLE THAT LINE WILL BE WEAKENING AS IT TRANSITIONS ITS WAY THROUGH EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. SO THE AREA OF GREATEST CONCERN FOR TONIGHT, AGAIN, IS OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST AGAIN, A LOT OF THAT ACTIVITY MAY BE OTTUMWA, EVEN SOUTHEASTWARD. PRIMARY THREATS WOULD BE DAMAGING WIND COULD SEE SOME LARGE HAIL IN THOSE AS WELL. THREATS FOR TOMORROW SHIFT UP INTO THE DAKOTAS. SO THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM. BUT IT IS GOING TO BE ON THURSDAY AS IT MAKES ITS WAY. OUR DIRECTION. SO THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE STATE OR SO WILL BE UNDER THE GUN FOR THOSE STORMS HEADED THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. BUT GOOD NOTE HERE THAT'S GOING TO COOL US DOWN DRASTICALLY. WE'RE DOWN INTO THE LOW 80S ON FRIDAY. LOOK AT SATURDAY MORNING 59. THAT IS GOING TO FEEEEL SO REFRESHING. AND HOW ABOUT NEXT WEEK 79 ON SU
