Low-Pressure System Brings Rain
OTTUMWA, Iowa (KYOU) - Starting Wednesday, showers, and storms will return to the forecast as a low-pressure system and a series of fronts approach the Hawkeye State. This weather system will bring an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially on Thursday when the low-pressure system passes through our area. Expect periods of heavy rain, with some spots across Eastern Iowa potentially receiving more than an inch. As the low moves eastward on Friday, isolated showers will linger, but the skies will gradually clear, setting the stage for a mostly sunny weekend. Throughout this period, temperatures will remain consistent, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, providing a comfortable but occasionally wet stretch of weather. As we look ahead through the 9-day forecast, this pattern of mild temperatures will persist, so keep an umbrella handy, but also be ready to enjoy some sunshine as we head into the weekend.
