Wonderful Weather Continues...

High temperatures over the past couple of days have been well above normal, and prompted many people to get outside and enjoy it! Today is likely to be the last day with temperatures well above normal, as a cold front will sweep over the state tonight and into early tomorrow. No significant chances of rain showers are in the forecast with the passage of the front, just a cool down of 10-20 degrees of those high from today and yesterday. That still means temperatures in the 40s and 50s throughout the state, which is still right around normal for this time of year.

Highs today should range from the mid 60s to the mid 70s from north to south across the state, with warm southerly winds and clear skies. The cold front begins to make its' way into western Iowa tonight; with a slight chance of a few showers or otherwise partly cloudy skies with lows in the 30s across the northwest and the 40s over the remainder of the state. This front will continue to move across the state on Wednesday, with a chance of showers and otherwise cloudy skies across much of the state. High temperatures should range from the mid 50s to near 60 from northwest to southeast. The skies will clear out for Wednesday night, with low temperatures in the upper 20s across the north to the mid 30s over the south.

The remainder of the work week will have high temperatures in the 50s on Thursday, and then the 50s and a few 60s southwest on Friday. Low temperatures in the upper 20s to mid 30s from east to west on Thursday night will warm up by Friday night when lows should range from the mid 30s to the lower 40s from east to west. We'll bring in the chance at a few showers for the state for both the beginning and the end of the weekend... Enjoy the mild week ahead...
