With the southerly flow and clear skies, temperatures today soared well above what forecasts were predicting. This is one case where a missed forecast won't get the public riled up... Temperatures across the state ranged from the 50s across northwest Iowa, into the upper 60s across much of northeast Iowa; and then near 70 or well into the 70s for much of the southern portion of the state. Although an official statement regarding any records will likely be issued tonight, it appears safe to assume that several cities have at least tied if not broke their record high for today!
Hope everyone got out to enjoy it! Tomorrow looks to be a little cooler, and with plenty of rain, thunderstorms, and potentially frozen precipitation for some parts of the state over the weekend. Additional details on the weekend storm will be posted in tomorrows update...
Record Warmth!
