Our weekend has been pretty decent so far. Temperature-wise, anyway. We’ll get rid of some of those pesky clouds tomorrow…but not for long! A cold front will approach the area Sunday night. Look for those clouds to return, bringing a chance of rain showers…and our friends to the north are sending south their first cold air “gift” of the season. Thanks, guys.

So where were we, and where are we going? Friday’s 80s are long gone…for now. We’re transitioning right now to the 70s, where we will be tomorrow, and then on Monday, the first surge of cooler air will arrive. By Tuesday, we’re only forecasting the lower 60s. And we’re optimistic right now, too. Another punch of cool air looks to arrive by Wednesday and Thursday.

Now – this is nothing record-breaking or crazy. Normal highs are right around 65°, so we’re merely adjusting our run of above-normal temps to more near-normal, or a little below. But, you know, don’t be caught off-guard come next week, headed to work or school in your flip flops and summer gear. Unless you like that sort of thing..:)

Whatever your choice is of keeping dry from the rain, while simultaneously managing to keep you warm, grab that for Monday. We’ll be expecting a good dose of rain, especially in the afternoon. It’ll be a good soaker, especially across parts of north and central Iowa. We could be picking up over 0.50 – 0.75″ of rain in some places. But under cloud cover, it’ll be chilly and raw – only into the middle 50s for highs. Hang tight, because “warmer” conditions (60s, 70s) will be arriving by midweek. We’re looking to get back to normal, if not above by next weekend – but that is all up in the air yet, with the uncertainty of where Ike will end up.
