Forecast: Warmth, with a slight rain chance
DES MOINES, Iowa — We've kicked off another great May weekend with dry conditions and warmer temps than the ones we saw on Friday. Your weather timeline takes you into a similar Mother's Day:
We stick with this pattern through Wednesday (though eastern Iowa may see an isolated Tuesday storm). Note as the week progresses, we'll see dewpoints rise, giving us more humid conditions Tuesday through Thursday and setting us up for our one decent rain chance this week.
The following three graphics probably overhype Thursday's storm chance, but in any event, it's possible we could see a stronger thunderstorm or two that day, especially in eastern Iowa.
The 50 European model ensemble members stack up to show us the likelihood of Thursday rainfall, but also show us that better rain chance will kick off the following week. The slideshow following walks you through Tuesday's rain chance east and Thursday's rains.
Both the Weather Prediction Center's 7-day and the European model's outlook for the week aren't bullish on rainfall amounts. Highs for the next six days follow those:

Severe storms on Tuesday in Philadelphia region to bring heavy rain, gusty winds. Here's the weather forecast.
Good Tuesday, everyone! Get your outdoor activities done early as showers and storms are set to arrive in the Philadelphia region by late afternoon and early evening, bringing heavy rain, frequent lightning, and winds gusting to 60 mph-plus as a line of strong storms moves through. The region will be fully in the warm sector with highs in the low 80s to low 90s and dew points in the 70s — supporting strong instability. A strengthening upper-level trough will push a cold front through the area later in the day. If morning clouds and convection clear in time, conditions will support strong to severe storms. The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region in a slight risk (2/5) for severe thunderstorms, with damaging wind gusts as the main threat. Alongside the severe threat, there's also a risk of localized flash flooding. Potential rainfall values between 2.0 – 2.5 inches and deep warm cloud layers will support heavy rainfall rates, especially if storms train over the same area. Delmarva is under a slight risk (2/4) for excessive rainfall, with a marginal risk (1/4) elsewhere. CBS News Philadelphia Will Tuesday's weather affect Phillies-Padres game? There's a good chance the Phillies game may be postponed or adjusted somehow. Stay tuned for updates on that because the weather should be arriving around the time of first pitch. The cold front slows as it moves through Tuesday night, with lingering showers possible through Wednesday morning, especially near coastal areas. Lows Tuesday night will be in the 60s to low 70s. CBS News Philadelphia Philadelphia weather forecast for the rest of the week An upper-level trough lingers over the Northeast into the weekend. While Wednesday and Thursday will be warm, humidity will drop slightly behind the front. Most of Wednesday looks dry, with only a slight chance for showers Thursday near and northwest of I-78 as a weak front moves through. Friday and Saturday look pleasant. High pressure will settle over the region with mostly sunny skies, highs in the 80s and comfortable dew points in the low to mid 60s. It's shaping up to be a nice holiday weekend, with no weather issues expected to impact your plans on the Fourth of July! Here's your 7-day forecast: CBS News Philadelphia Tuesday: NEXT Weather Alert for p.m. storms. High 89, Low 76. Wednesday: Clearing nice. High 86, Low 72. Thursday: Sunny, hot. High 90, Low 71.

Trump admin extends access to critical DOD weather forecasting dataset
Weather forecasters will have an additional month to tap Defense Department satellite data that is widely relied upon for hurricane forecasting, extending a deadline that would have ended National Weather Service access Monday to the information. The termination of data products from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program was met with fierce criticism from scientists who said it could diminish hurricane forecasting accuracy just as the 2025 storm season is ramping up. In a statement, NOAA spokesperson Kim Doster said the extension followed a request on Friday from NASA to the removal and to continue processing and distributing data from the DMSP. Advertisement The administration now expects to decommission DMSP processing no later than July 31, she said.
