Statewide Iowa (RI) — Forecasters say high temperatures statewide will be in the 70s and 80s for the next few days, but the heat of summer is about to arrive in full force.
National Weather Service meterologist Alexis Jimenez says much hotter conditions are on the way.
Heat indices may climb above 100 degrees, and that steamy weather is expected to stick around through the Independence Day weekend.
Forecasters say there’s a chance of showers Thursday in parts of Iowa, and again on Saturday night.
