DES MOINES, Iowa -- We began Wednesday with cool temperatures and a few light showers, but have moved into a warmer afternoon than Tuesday's. Your weather timeline steps you into Friday below.

We have a couple of spotty rain chances ahead this weekend... one Saturday (during which most of us will stay dry) and one Sunday, which will only affect western Iowa. Otherwise, accumulating rain chances hold off until Wednesday of next week. Overall, we have a pretty nice stretch of weather ahead through the holiday weekend!

Heavy rainfall is not expected over the next seven days. Highs for the next six days are above, and your WHO 13 7-day forecasts are below. Extended forecasts indicate that we will be cooler than average from September 1 through the middle of the month.
