The heat buckled the road at 100th/Hickman in Clive this morning. Crews had it patched by Noon.

Highs today will be warmer than yesterday. I expect Des Moines will be right at 100 by 4PM or 6PM.

Tomorrow there is a good chance for some isolated storms over central Iowa by afternoon. Some of the storms could be strong to severe. There is a chance for some pretty decent amounts of rainfall.

This will also help knock our temperatures down.

Be careful out there today. Heat index temperature at 1 was already 108.

Below you will find the crazy heat index temps from yesterday.
