So what's going on in Ankeny weather this week?

A warmer, windy start to the work week will give way to cooler temps later this week.

While our area was pummeled with rain and severe weather Sunday night, we could see more as early as Monday afternoon.

Here's what WHO Channel 13 has to say about today's forecast:

Clouds will linger and another round of storms is possible Monday afternoon and evening.  Key times will be after 3 PM and before 9 PM in Eastern Iowa. These storms look to be less intense with the severe potential not as high as last night. Temperatures will reach 80 degrees.
