Iowa weather LIVE: Record warmth to start the week before cooling down

Описание: Join us for a live conversation with Storm Team 8 Meteorologist Jon Rivas. We will go over the 8 day forecast and answer any questions.

Today is setting up to be a very warm day over parts of the state. Areas that see more clouds will be cooler, but still well above our seasonal averages for Iowa in February. Central and southern Iowa will have the better chances for clearer skies which will lead to highs deeper into the 60s. This is also the areas that are expected to test and exceed the daily record highs. Northern and northeastern Iowa will see more clouds which will hinder the temperature rebound. Either way, today will feel more like a breezy Spring day before we cool down deeper into the week.

A cold front will pass overnight and we will begin our cooldown with highs staying in the 40s for the rest of the week. We will still stay above average, but expect some cool days with manageable yet chilly wind chills at times. The forecast stays dry until Wednesday night into Thursday. A system pushes over the Midwest bringing enough of a disturbance over Iowa to lead to decent precipitation chances. With the above average temperatures, it looks like we will have a rain snow mix chance during this time with melting winning out as highs are expected to still hold on to the 40s. Temperatures will begin to rebound into the weekend yet again.
