At least for the highs for the remainder of the week, we'll see above average readings for nearly the entire state. The lows will hover from near normal, to above normal for the remainder of the week as well. The latter half of the week will see clear skies, making what appears to be a great Halloween night for the entire state.

Lows tonight will range from the mid 20s to lower 30s from north to south across the state. Highs tomorrow will be in the mid 50s to mid 60s from east to west, as winds begin to become southerly to bring in even more warmth. Wednesday night lows in the mid to upper 30s across the state, with clear skies remaining. Thursday really warms up with southerly winds picking up 10-20 mph and some higher gusts. Highs in the lower 60s in northeast Iowa, to near 70 across the south and west. Thursday night is beggars night for many local communities, the evening forecast should see temperatures in the 50s and winds around 10 mph. Lows for Thursday night will be in the upper 30s to mid 40s from northwest to southeast as a cold front begins to enter the state overnight. This cold front will hamper the high temperatures on Friday, with a few clouds finally making the forecast as well. Highs from the lower 60s to upper 60s from north to south, as winds shift to the northwest as the cold front passes through. As we enter the weekend, Friday night lows will be in the mid 30s to lower 40s from north to south.
