May 5th PM: Mild night underway, shower chances for Wednesday
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — A mild night in Siouxland with lows only falling off into the low 50's with cloud cover on the increase.
Seeing shower chances return for Wednesday afternoon, but still expect dry conditions for some of the day Wednesday. Highs, despite the additional cloud cover still rise into the low 80's and upper 70's.
Shower chances carry over into early Thursday and expecting a slightly cooler day for Thursday as highs rise into the upper 70's.
Sunshine returns Friday, with even warmer highs in the mid/upper 80s heading into the weekend.
We'll see those temperatures stay in the upper 80's through the weekend with temperatures even nearing the 90° and potentially making it into the low 90's.
A warm day Sunday for Mother's Day with sunshine in place as well. Looking like it could be a bit breezy though, which could elevate fire danger at times.
Another system appearing by midweek next week and should see temperatures cool a bit with potentially a few shower chances as well.

Northern Lights Alert: 13 States May See Aurora On Monday And Tuesday
Wisconsin's night sky is glowing with the Northern Lights, as a geomagnetic storm is bringing ... More vibrant pink and green colors. (Photo by Ross Harried/NurPhoto via Getty Images) The Northern Lights may be visible from 13 U.S. states on Monday, June 2 through Tuesday, June 3, 2025, after a G1 geomagnetic storm was forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It comes in the wake of an 'extreme' G5 geomagnetic storm last weekend that saw aurora borealis seen from as far south as California. As Earth approaches the solstice on June 21, the U.S. is currently one of the best places to see the Northern Lights. The agency's three-day forecast has a geomagnetic storm, measured at a value of G1 on a scale of G1 to G5, potentially occurring on Monday night through Tuesday morning in North America. NOAA's aurora viewlines have potential aurora displays that are possible in northern U.S. states and Canada. A total of 13 U.S. states have a chance of seeing the aurora on the northern horizon, with those on the U.S.-Canada border having a higher chance. According to NOAA, this display may be seen from Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, northeast Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Regions closest to the border with Canada will have the highest possibility of seeing the aurora. NOAA's forecast for the aurora viewline on Monday, June 2, 2025. According to NOAA's forecast, the Kp index — which provides a rough guide to the intensity of aurora displays — may reach 5, seeing the auroral oval stretch farther south. Kp 5 equates to a G1-class geomagnetic storm. For a Kp in the range of 3 to 5, 'The aurora will move further from the poles, it will become brighter, and there will be more auroral activity (motion and formations)," according to NOAA. "If you are in the right place, these aurora can be quite pleasing to look at.' The geomagnetic storm on May 10, 2024, which saw aurora as far south as Florida, was rated as G5 and had Kp 9 intensity. It was the most powerful since 2003. Although it's forecast for Monday night through Tuesday morning in North America, exactly when and where aurora becomes visible this week will be down not to predictions but data coming in from NASA's DSCOVR and ACE satellites. Orbiting the sun from around a million miles from Earth, they give a roughly 30-minute warning of aurora displays after measuring the solar wind's speed and magnetic intensity. Check NOAA's 30-minute forecast or use the Glendale App for up-to-the-minute forecasts. People visit St Mary's lighthouse to see the aurora borealis, commonly known as the northern lights, ...

It likely means a long exposure of between five and 10 seconds, which will look much better if you do three things: The Northern Lights are caused by the solar wind, a stream of charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. Although the magnetic field deflects much of it, some charged particles accelerate along the magnetic field lines toward the polar regions, where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms, exciting them and causing them to release energy as light. The possibility of displays of the aurora borealis at more southerly latitudes comes from a spike in solar activity, which is currently at a 23-year high due to the current solar maximum period. Geomagnetic storms and aurora are expected to continue through 2025 and 2026. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

Group injured after lightning strikes canopy in Tarrant County storm
The Brief Over a dozen people have been treated for injuries after a Tarrant County lightning strike. The group of 14 people were attempting to hold down an outdoor canopy during a storm.

TARRANT COUNTY, Texas - Fourteen people were injured by a bolt of lightning in Tarrant County on Sunday, officials say. According to Cresson Fire Chief Ron Becker, the incident happened when a group of people were attempting to hold down a canopy during a storm. What we know Becker said the group was at Benbrook Lake when Sunday's storm swept through the area. In the midst of the high winds, 14 people gathered under a canopy, which they attempted to hold down during the storm. Lightning struck the canopy, a tree, and a vehicle, Becker said, causing injuries to all 14 occupants. Of the injured people, 12 were treated for minor injuries and released at the scene, according to Becker. The other two were taken from the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. What we don't know During the same fast-moving storm that moved through North Texas on Sunday evening, large hail stones fell in Tarrant County while the weather pushed eastward. FOX 4 viewers submitted videos and images of hail that fell in Arlington and surrounding areas around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The storm was moving eastward at around 25 miles per hour around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Viewers reported hearing sirens as far east as Oak Cliff. The hailstones produced by the storms were large enough to cause damage to vehicles and other property. The hail could also cause injury to individuals outdoors during the storm.

‘It's difficult': Local farmers explain why this year's strawberry season has been unlike any other
FAIRPORT, N.Y. (WROC) – Strawberry season in upstate New York is just around the corner, with prime picking conditions expected in the next week. However, due to frequent rain showers, preparing for the season has not been easy for many farmers. Co-Manager at Chase Farms Market in Fairport, Christine McGough, explained a major challenge they're facing this season. 'Once the berries are ready, we have to be able to harvest them,' McGough said. 'So, if we're experiencing constant rain and weather that make people not want to come out, or we're not even able to get our crew out because it's that rainy, it's difficult.' She explained that strawberries typically cannot be picked in the rain, as the conditions present a risk for disease to spread among the fruit plants. It also presents other product quality concerns. Aside from this, McGough pointed out the business's dependence on their self-pick strawberry option. 'Pick-your-own is a huge part of our business. Everyone loves to come out and pick strawberries, not so much if it's a downpouring,' McGough said. there is one positive that has come from the unusual spring weather conditions, as Co-Manager Don Chase explained. 'Strawberries are a crop that likes the colder weather,' Chase said. 'So they're coming along very nice.' Now, the team at Chase Farms Market, along with many other strawberry farmers in the Rochester area, is keeping their fingers crossed for optimal picking conditions as the berries become ready for harvest. 'What I'm hoping for is that these rain showers move out and we get more summer-like weather.' Chase and McGough say Chase Farms Market will open for strawberry season in around a week and a half, while planning to harvest ready-to-eat berries any opportunity they get leading up to it.
