Sunny skies and highs near 60 degrees have returned to Iowa, bringing a warm fall day across the state with abundant sunshine, according to KCCI.
Iowa woke up to warmer temperatures this morning compared to yesterday morning, kicking off a mild and dry week of weather before a cooling trend arrives later in the week.
The current warming trend will continue tomorrow as afternoon highs reach the mid-60s, which is much warmer compared to average for this time of year. Specifically, today’s forecast calls for mainly sunny skies with a high of 60 degrees and northwest winds at 10 to 15 mph. Tonight will bring a mostly clear sky with a low of 38 degrees and light and variable winds.
Tomorrow’s outlook features a mainly sunny sky with a high near 65 degrees and south-southwest winds at 10 to 20 mph, followed by a mostly clear night with a low near 42 degrees and northwest winds at 5 to 10 mph. Low 60s will stick around on Tuesday before temperatures begin to drop.
High temperatures will cool down to the 50s by Wednesday and eventually reach the 40s by the end of the work week. A front passing through the state midweek could fire up a few showers in the first half of the day on Wednesday, but overall the upcoming stretch will continue to stay dry with very low rain chances.
