DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It looks to be a miserably hot weekend in parts of Iowa and Nebraska this weekend. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Des Moines and central and northern parts of Nebraska and Iowa.

The service says temperature in the mid to upper 90s, combined with high humidity, will send heat index values into the triple digits in Nebraska on Saturday. The heat advisory will remain in effect for Des Moines and other parts of Iowa through Sunday evening.

The service cautions people in the advisory areas to drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the sun and stay in an air-conditioned room, if possible.

SPENCER, Iowa (AP) — Residents in northwest Iowa are cleaning up this weekend after a series of strong thunderstorms knocked down tree limbs and caused power outages Friday night. The Sioux City Journal reports Sioux, Osceola, Dickinson, O’Brien, Cherokee and Clay counties are among the areas hit by high wind gusts and large hail.

The sheriff’s offices in Dickinson and Osceola counties reported down tree limbs and power outages. Alex Ferguson with the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls says wind gusts sometimes exceeding 60 mph were recorded in several counties. The highest, at 67 mph, was recorded at 9:14 p.m. at the Spencer Airport.

Ferguson says golf-ball-sized hail was reported around 8 p.m. in Dickinson County.

Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 71. South wind 7 to 10 mph.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 94. South wind 7 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.

The National Weather Service has placed more than a dozen counties in northwest and central Iowa under a heat advisory through Sunday. Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 90s, while heat indices could climb into the triple digits in Sioux City, Spencer, Des Moines, Ames, and surrounding cities. Staci Schweder, a nurse with Mercy Medical in Sioux City, says anyone spending time outdoors should drink plenty of water.

Heat Advisory (counties in Orange) until 9-p.m. Saturday for n.w. IA, & until 7-p.m. Sunday for parts of central IA

“Be proactive with that. Start drinking (water) right away in the morning and continue to drink throughout the day,” Schweder says. While staying hydrated is key to avoiding heat exhaustion, Schweder suggests wearing light, loose-fitting clothing and taking plenty of breaks from the sun as well. She also recommends using wet washcloths or towels on the neck or forearms to keep cool. The warning signs of heat stroke include feeling faint or nauseated.

“Heart racing…cool, clammy skin…if those start to happen, you definitely want to find shade and get to a cooler environment,” Schweder says. Some relief from the heat may arrive over northeast Iowa Sunday. The forecast calls for the possibility of some thunderstorms over northern Iowa tonight (Friday) and over northern and central Iowa Saturday. The National Weather Service reports wetter and cooler conditions are expected early next week.
