QUIET WEATHER WILL BE OVER THE REGION TODAY AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER
WESTERN ILLINOIS MOVES EAST.  TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB TO AROUND 90
THIS AFTERNOON. THESE TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH DEW POINTS IN THE
UPPER 60S WILL CREATE AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES IN THE MID 90S TO AROUND
100.

LATE TONIGHT...THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
SOUTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL IOWA. THE GREATEST THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 AND WEST OF
HIGHWAY 150. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE THREAT OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IS MARGINAL.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA NEAR A DEVELOPING WARM FRONT THIS EVENING.  THE
STORMS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST...REACHING EAST CENTRAL IOWA AFTER MIDNIGHT.
AS THE STORMS MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN IOWA THEY WILL ENCOUNTER A LAYER OF
WARM AIR IN THE MID-LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.  THE LAYER OF WARM AIR
WILL LIMIT THE STRENGTH OF THE STORMS AS THEY ENTER EASTERN IOWA.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT.
