Tuesday will have a similar start to yesterday with early morning rain coming in, however it looks to be even weaker than yesterday where scattered thunderstorms developed through the morning.
Showers and thunderstorms have continued to weaken this morning as they've approached the region due to them losing instability as they move east. At one point these rain showers were once strong thunderstorms in Central Iowa where numerous Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued overnight. However, through the rest of the morning we'll see light rainfall with this system as it moves through.
It'll still be another hot day today though as we'll be right back in the 90's for the third day in a row. It's been a humid stretch and expect that to continue today as dewpoint temperatures will once again be in the 70's which will bring our heat index values near 95-100°. Once the morning showers and thunderstorms move out, partly cloudy skies will return into the afternoon!
Heading into the night and into tomorrow morning a cold front is expected to move through bringing relief for the rest of the week. A much drier pattern is expected to develop while temperatures look to stay in the upper 70's to low 80's.
Before that though, with the cold front moving in tonight/tomorrow this will help develop showers and possible thunderstorms through the day tomorrow. Although cooler, we could see widespread rainfall tomorrow bringing rainfall totals near an inch in some spots. However, this cold front will also dry out any available moisture for the next few days which will keep us dry!
Into next week, our upper-level ridge that gave us such warm temperatures this weekend will shift to our southwest taking both warmer temperatures and available moisture with it. This combined with weak upper-level winds will keep us dry through most of early next week while comfortable temperatures will return for the start of August!
