Labor Day Weekend Forecast

A wonderful weekend is in store for the 'end of summer' holiday weekend. Sunny skies with warm temperatures for the daytime should be in store for the entire state, and in fact, most of the northern plains. Highs today should be in the lower to mid 80s from east to west this afternoon, light winds and the warm sun will make it feel pretty warm. Overnight tonight expect lows in the lower to mid 50s throughout the state, once again under clear skies and calm winds. Your Saturday should be slightly warmer than today, highs from the mid 80s to upper 80s from east to west, could even see a 90-mark along the Missouri in southwest Iowa. Winds from the south at 10-15 shouldn't bother too many people and their activities. Saturday night lows with a little increased moisture, and with the aid of the wind, will be from the mid 50s in eastern Iowa to the mid 60s along the Missouri River. Sunday will have sunny skies once again, with a bit more fair weather cumulus during the afternoon. High temperatures in the mid to upper 80s throughout the state; those southerly winds continuing at 5-15 mph. Sunday night lows will range from near 60 along the Mississippi to near 70 along the Missouri.

Your holiday forecast will be sunny and a bit breezy, with winds from the south at 10-20 mph. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s throughout the state, with a bit more humid conditions in place ahead of the oncoming weather system. Overnight lows in the 60s throughout the state will also show off the increased moisture to the state. A few more clouds may work into western Iowa as a cold front begins to push through the Dakotas.

The storm system that is likely to be our next weather maker will likely enter the state on Tuesday, and may last into the early hours of Thursday depending on the speed. Thunderstorms are a good chances with this system, the severe chances are still undetermined at the moment. More details on this system as it approaches early next week.
