Final Rainfall Totals... & Chilly Air

The rainfall across the state has finally came to an end, as the showers and cold front has finally passed through the entire state as winds are noted to be northwesterly throughout. The eastern third of the state is still under cloud cover, and thus still has temperatures in the lower 50s. The remainder of the state has clear skies and temperatures dropping quickly into the 40s, a few northwest Iowa cities are already down to 40 and will drop into the 30s tonight. Even eastern Iowa will drop into the 40s as the skies clear in the next few hours...
