Well just a quick review of what happened over the weekend weatherwise and what is continuing into the week on this Monday and Monday night. Saturday was a good day, seeing ‘decent’ temperatures and overall not to bad of a day from what I remember. Sunday was a different story, waking up to see a dense layer of fog throughout the state that continued into the night. This fog was helped along with the drizzle and actual thunderstorms that moved into the area by evening. The cold weather and cold ground prompted several counties in northwest Iowa to go under a Freezing Rain Advisory for a while. Even with the rainfall, the warm front was laid out across the state and thus the same weather exists when this morning began and is still occurring now as we head into Monday night.
Dense fog has existed throughout the day, with visibilities being anywhere from less than a 1/4 mile to around a mile or two in other parts of the state. Currently a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the northwestern half of the state, where fog should continue throughout the night and into the morning with visibilities down to near zero in some areas. Other areas south of the front and where the Fog Advisory has not been issued will still have foggy conditions, but will also be looking at thunderstorms! Several strong cells are featured across the state right now just south of the warm front that cuts the state nearly in half from northeast to southwest.
Another update will be posted in a short while, featuring the forecast for the rest of the week for Iowa.
