Orange City Tulip Festival Forecast: Cooler & windy, rainy at times
ORANGE CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Relief from the summer-like stretch of heat we've seen the past couple of weeks has arrived, just in time for the Orange City Tulip Festival!
However, we've traded the heat for windy, and at times, rainy conditions. The good news, rain showers are largely done with for our Thursday and we see some clearing through the remainder of the day.
The bad news though, it's windy and it's going to stay rather windy for the next 24-48 hours or so, with gusts as high as 45-50 mph remaining likely through the rest of our Thursday and through Friday as well. West/southwest winds 25-30 mph, gusting up to 45-50 mph have resulted in the issuance of Wind Advisories for both our Thursday and Friday across all of Siouxland, including up a the Tulip Festival.
Temperatures have also taken quite the hit behind this system, falling off from the 80's and 90's to the 60's. Not dealing with any wind chills, fortunately, however definitely a shock to the system, so you may want a jacket or light sweatshirt if you're planning on heading out to the Tulip Festival.
Temperatures through the evening hours fall into the low/mid 50's Thursday evening and the low 40's and upper 30's for Friday and Saturday evening.
Cool, if not a bit chilly for the day Friday as well, with partly to mostly cloudy conditions and scattered light showers at times, especially into the afternoon. Not expecting it to be a washout by any means, but may be dodging a few raindrops from time to time if you're heading out to the Tulip Festival on Friday.
Sunny and a bit warmer for the final day of Tulip Festival Saturday, with a high in the upper 60's, if not a bit warmer with the sun being out. Winds ease up quite a bit as well, but still seeing breezier conditions lingering with NNW winds sustained between 10-20 and gusts up to 25-30 mph.

Hotter and drier weather will be moving into New Mexico
Storms will again be clearing out of New Mexico later tonight. Drier and hotter weather will move in each day into the weekend. Storms first developed late this morning over the Sacramento Mountains where they brought minor to moderate burn scar flooding in the Ruidoso area. Storms have cleared away from the Sacramento Mountains, but then brought severe weather to southeast New Mexico this afternoon. Isolated to scattered storms have also developed in central and northern New Mexico. Finally, storms developed in Albuquerque tonight where they brought measurable rainfall. Storms are ending tonight across the state. A pattern of hotter and drier weather will start Wednesday. Isolated showers and storms will still pop up over the mountains and surrounding areas Wednesday afternoon, but the rain totals will be much lighter. Temperatures will be hotter Wednesday afternoon as well. Even drier air will move into the state from the west Thursday. This will keep the chance for rain along and east of the central mountain chain. This chance will be very spotty though. That's where the chance for rain will stay into this weekend. Temperatures continue to heat up into this weekend as well. The hottest day will be Sunday and Monday next week. Parts of the Albuquerque Metro may hit 100° for the first time this year, with a stretch of triple-digit heat in southern New Mexico. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sunshine midweek for the Tiers. Bring it on!
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – We are finished with the showers and thunderstorms for the next 24 hours as a drier airmass moves in tonight. Wednesday features more sunshine and a comfortable go of it. However, we are not going to have a chance to get used to the sunshine and stay dry for a while before a more unsettled weather pattern settles in for late week into the weekend. Tonight through part of the day Thursday are expected to be dry and breezy. Thursday night may have an isolated shower or two and those without the rain will see some early morning fog Friday before the next round of rain comes through. Most of the weekend including Father's Day will also be cloudy and rainy. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
