Iowa — Are you bummed that we didn’t get much heat this summer and school is almost ready to start? Fear not, we’ll see a heat wave this weekend and the first part of next week.
The past few evenings have felt almost like fall with lows in the 50s and 60s, but National Weather Service meteorologist Cory Martin says daytime high temperatures will be climbing again very soon.
Many of Iowa’s crops are at critical growth stages and Martin says there’s very little chance for rain, well into next week.
With high temps likely climbing into triple digits this weekend, Martin says it’s certainly possible the weather service will issue heat advisories, or even extreme heat warnings.
The long-range forecast indicates those high temperatures will last at least as far as next Tuesday, with the prediction of 94 degrees that day in Sheldon.
