A chilly start to Monday, in the 30s, but we warm into the mid 60s in the afternoon with mostly sunny conditions.
Tuesday will be windy and warmer. In fact, some of us likely make it into the low 80s in the afternoon. While a few spotty showers are possible in the late morning/early afternoon, these don't look to have an impact on severe potential later in the day. We'll have enough clearing during the afternoon to warm up and replenish the energy in the atmosphere after morning clouds.
We're going to be watching for potentially two rounds of storms in the second half of Tuesday. The first round will be a bit more conditional and look more likely to impact western IA if they can get going. Damaging wind gusts, large hail, and tornadoes will all be possible. There is some more agreement on the second round of storms coming in with the cold front late Tuesday into early Wednesday. These would likely pose more of a damaging wind threat, but we can't rule out the other severe weather types either.
This a good time to make sure you have multiple ways to get severe weather alerts, especially when storms are likely during the overnight hours.
Once we dry out, Wednesday will be cooler with highs in the low to mid 50s.
Those 50s will continue for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Easter Sunday will be a bit cooler, in the upper 40s, with a slight chance for a mix.
