Showers and storms will diminish through the morning, followed by a return of dry and warm conditions to end the work week and persist through the weekend. Temperatures will be warmest Saturday, with widespread values in the low to mid 80s, along with winds gusting to 30-35 mph, isolated to 40mph over northern and western Iowa. These conditions will lead to concerns for elevated fire weather conditions, especially in cropland Saturday.
