Another Cool Week

Over the past couple of days I couldn't help but hear people whine about how 'cold' it was across northwest Iowa and adjacent areas that were north of the warm front that sparked off several rounds of thunderstorms. It is always ironic to me how people use the word 'cold' to describe the weather; if it was anytime between October and March then people would be very pleased and say that the past couple of days of weather has been 'warm'. Instead, just because we want to see temperatures in the 70s and 80s or even higher we start complaining that it is 'cold' outside. Thus, this posts title will be in regards to the continued cool weather that is expected for what looks to be the remainder of this week.

Today's temperatures range from the upper 50s to mid 60s across a majority of the state, while extreme southeast Iowa was able to stay in the warm sector for a while and saw highs in the 70s and lower 80s. We'll dry off tonight with low temperatures ranging from the mid 40s to mid 50s from north to south. The showers/thunderstorms will return to western Iowa during the evening hours on Tuesday; with highs in the mid 60s to mid 70s from northwest to southeast. The showers/thunderstorms will overspread much of the state overnight on Tuesday, with low temperatures in the 50s throughout the state. Scattered showers are likely to continue over the state on Wednesday, hindering high temperatures to the mid 60s to lower 70s from north to south.

Although there are a few rogue chances of a shower/thunderstorm, we should stay dry through the rest of the work week. High temperatures for Thursday and Friday should range from the lower to mid 70s. Low temperatures in the lower to upper 50s on Thursday night will increase a few degrees to the mid to upper 50s for Friday night.
