Merry Christmas!

Hope everybody has a great Christmas and safe travels to wherever you are headed, although most of your traveling may have been done over the weekend. The forecast for Christmas looks good, featuring temperatures from the lower to mid 30s throughout the state of Iowa. Christmas lows should drop to the lower teens in northwest Iowa, while some lower 20s in the southeast. The only foreseeable problem with the forecast may be the slightly breezy winds, northwest winds 10-20 mph seem likely across the state with some gusts likely getting up to that 25 mph mark.

Dry week until Thursday/Friday when the next system should be making its’ way onto the plains and thus bringing the chance once again for some type of winter weather. Of course this far out it is hard to make a good estimation of how the system looks and thus I won’t say too much more about it at this point. Just to keep a watch out as things may be able to get a little interesting before the weekend…
