Boring Weather!?!

If you enjoy nice sunny skies with temperatures in the 70s, then this week is for you. After our latest round of heavy rains across the state, the pattern over the central US is going to be quite boring. An upper level ridge will be in place, bringing any fronts and low pressure systems well to the north. A high pressure is likely to remain focused over the plains through at least the next week. With the high pressure in place, expect mainly clear to partly cloudy skies to be in the forecast with general climatology for temperatures for the most part.

Highs today were below average, only in the 60s for much of the state while averages in the 70s. Tomorrow will be around 10 degrees warmer than yesterday, and hover around the same through this upcoming weekend. Tonight's lows will range from the lower 40s to the upper 40s from generally north to south. Leaving a near chilly start for tomorrow, but highs will rise into the mid 70s along the Mississippi River to near 80 along the Missouri. These highs will remain within a degree or two of Tuesday's highs for the remainder of the week, so expect the mid to upper 70s throughout the state, with a few 80-degree marks thrown in along the western borders of Iowa. Lows overnight on Tuesday will range from the mid 40s to lower 50s over the state, and become even warmer on Wednesday night with lows ranging from the lower to mid 50s. These lows will stay fairly consistent into the weekend as the nice weather continues.

Enjoy the week of nice weather, our next chance at any change doesn't look to be until mid next week.
