Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
516 PM CST Wed Nov 14 2018
Plenty of sunshine around today, and although much of the area was
below normal for this time of year, highs in the upper 30s to low 40s
were significantly warmer than we have seen in several days. Warmer
temperatures this afternoon were accompanied by breezy south winds at
5 to 15 mph.
Expect to see warmer temperatures and dry conditions hang on through
Thursday and Friday before a cold front moves through Friday night
into Saturday. As the front moves through rain will gradually switch
over to snow as temperatures drop. Any snow accumulation should remain
light. Behind the front temperatures this weekend will be in the
upper 20s to lows 30s. Light snow may linger across southern Iowa into
Sunday, otherwise expect the rest of next week to remain dry.
Temperatures will gradually warm to near normal for this time of year
by mid week and the Thanksgiving holiday.
