Rainy Days

Long time since the last update and it may be awhile until the next, possibly this weekend. Busy week ahead and currently, but at least instead of the warm and near hot temperatures outside which was distracting from studying it has now turned into a cloudy and sometimes rainy week. That should be helpful to the studying...

Sunday as well as Monday saw temperatures rise into the 70s and 80s throughout the state, nearing record levels as we were 30 degrees above normal for this time of the year. Temperatures have begun to moderate some thanks to the cloud cover that is expected to be in place much of the time. A weak system is currently hanging out over the state and will likely stay here until the strong system coming into the plains tomorrow finally makes it through Iowa. That may not happen until this weekend though, as it seemingly floats around the plains' states for quite a while. This is going to the cause of your continuous chances of rain that is in the forecast from today through Sunday. Thunderstorms are going to be possible as well, Wednesday evening and then Thursday being the better chances. With a decent shot at thunder across the state once again on Friday, this weekend is still up in the air. The severe threat is a complicated situation as well, beings this system is essentially stalling out it could have some radical movement and thus making it hard for the models to come into an exact agreement on some sort of things. If there becomes the risk for any significant severe weather over the state I will make time for an update...

For now, enjoy the above average temperatures even with the rain and cloudiness. We may likely be back down to the freezing mark later next week, at least for the lows.
