It has been amazing to be able to see the sun for so many consecutive days! Today will be a bit breezy with southerly winds blowing up warm air at 15-25 mph with some higher gusts possible. However, temperatures will be pushed up into the 60s and 70s across the state with the aid of this southerly wind. The cooler temperatures will be confined to the northeast part of the state, where they are a little behind with the temperatures just above the surface. These temperatures just above the surface will be mixed down today with the aid of those strong winds. Where the temperatures aloft are cooler, the high temperatures won't be quite as high. For the portions of western and south-central Iowa, high temperatures in the lower 70s are expected! The wind will decrease for Saturday, but temperatures will still remain quite nice under the sunshine. Highs ranging from the mid 60s across a majority of the state, to the upper 60s and near 70 over the southern third. The latest weather story from the Des Moines NWS office shows just that, with highs for today and Saturday depicted across the state:
Another sunny day, but once again slightly cooler, will remain for Sunday. Followed by a chance of showers as a weak cool front blows through the state on Sunday night. We'll rebound pretty good with sunny skies for a majority of next week, but high temperatures will likely be held in the 50s and lows in the 30s.
The Sunshine Continues...
