National Weather Service Says Waukee May See Strong Thunderstorms Tonight

This is a good week to replace your half-broken umbrella.

According to a seven-day forecast from the National Weather Service, Waukee should experience five straight days with the possibility of rain or thunderstorms.

In fact, the weather forecasting service also issued a hazardous weather outlook for the area, meaning that we may see severe thunderstorms tonight.

And rain seems to be a sure thing; the forecasters put the likelihood overnight at 100 percent.

But there is some silver lining. Despite the rain and storms, we should all keep relatively warm. The seven-day forecast calls for highs in the 60s and 70s; the normal high for this time of year is 50.

Maybe winter is long gone after all.
