Father's Day Forecast: Hot & Mostly Dry
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — This Sunday, June 15, is Father's Day. And if you're planning celebrations or maybe a cookout, it's looking dry. However, it's also looking hot. Highs at just under a week out look to be in the upper 80s and even potentially the low 90s. Going to be a hot one, so plan to take plenty of breaks in the air conditioning and stay hydrated! The good news, though, rain and storm chances remain minimal at this point, so it should be great weather to cool off in the pool or take a dip in the lake. A non-zero shower/storm chance, though, as we see the potential of an isolated shower/storm or two by the afternoon/evening hours. Not looking widespread, and most areas remain rain-free. Be sure to check back with the KCAU 9 weather team throughout the week for the latest updates. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
