Although the last couple of days have been filled with some clouds, a few sprinkles and some chilly winds. That looks like it could come to an end by this weekend and be replaced with a feel of nearly summer like conditions over the state. Today saw temperatures only rise into the lower 60s at best across the state, with many areas only in the upper 50s. This combined with a wind of 10-15 mph didn’t help conditions, thus the fall feel definitely in place. Lows tonight will take the fall like appeal as well, with them hovering around 40 degrees. Tomorrow’s highs won’t quite be there yet in the east, with them remaining around 60 degrees. However in the west the warmup has begun, with highs tomorrow nearing the 70 degree mark.
The return of warmth will begin by Saturday, first off Friday night lows will range in the 40s to near 50 in many areas. Highs by Saturday for the two football games should be near 65 in Iowa City, to upper 60s in Ames for the ISU/UNI game. Saturday night lows in the mid 40s to lower 50s, ranging from east to west respectively. Sunday it finally feels like a ‘weak’ summer day, with sunshine abundant and highs ranging from lower 80s in the southwest to lower 70s in the northeast. To begin the workweek on Monday, may possibly be the end of this feel, but temperature will range from the mid 80s to upper 70s in Iowa. By Monday night a system begins to work in and will make its’ way across Iowa through the day on Tuesday as well. This will keep the temperatures down as well as providing a shot at some showers and thunderstorms over the state. Once this system moves through, mid-week temperatures currently look to be in the lower 70s and upper 60s, with lows in the upper 40s to around 50. Long range forecasts do hint at a potential warmup by the second week of October with an upper level pattern change. Enjoy the weekend, as it looks to be a great one across the state!
