Active weather is on the way. The National Weather Service in Des Moines says scattered thunderstorms will return this afternoon and become more numerous later tonight over the southern counties. A few storms may produce large hail tonight over the south half of the area (including: Audubon-Guthrie-Dallas-Cass-Adair-Madison–Adams-Union-Taylor-Ringgold-Counties).  Isolated severe storms are possible late this afternoon and tonight for the far west and southwest counties.

Saturday looks wet most of the day with a period of stronger thunderstorms in late afternoon and evening hours. A slight risk of severe thunderstorms is now forecast for the far south Saturday, with a marginal risk to near Interstate 80. Expect a wide range in temperatures from northwest to southeast today and Saturday. Strong northwest winds Saturday night will usher in much colder air by Sunday into Monday morning. Highs Sunday will only reach the 50s most areas. Lows Monday morning will fall to the 30s to lower 40s.
