Warmup & Thunderstorms… New Website Look

Well after one strong cold front has made its’ way through the area, we are looking at warming temperatures once again as we go into the week. Currently NWS forecasts are running on the low side by the looks of things, having highs only reaching the mid 80s on Wed/Fri for the highest of the week. Unlike the local met’s as well as the latest long range GFS MOS data. Both of those indicating that temperatures by mid-week should be near 90, I’m willing to split the differences going with forecasts in the range of 86-88 degrees this week. With an increased temperature, also comes increased dewpoints with southerly flow coming onto the plains. This should lead to chances of thunderstorms over the area, which definately looks to be the case with chances starting tomorrow and especially on Wed. night/Thursday. Most likely we will be looking at overnight systems coming in, as afternoon thunderstorms aren’t looking likely with such strong capping in shape over the area. So, look for highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s across Iowa this week, with thunderstorm chances Tuesday night, Wed and Thur. Lows in the lower 60s to lower 70s this week as well across the state, with rainfall amounts quite varied dependent on location of thunderstorms, etc.

As for the site update, website is receiving a new update once again. Several pages have been given the ‘new look’ and a whole new title image should be coming within the next week or two to give it a complete look. Hopefully this will be the look that will stay on the site for some time. The photo pages as well as the chase account pages, as well as the store page are not going to be complete for sometime due to the high amount of work that has to be done on those pages. Keep checking back for more updates and be sure to keep checking out the site for the new look and additions!!
