Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
417 AM CST Mon Nov 19 2018
Mid and high level cloudiness continued to move south and east through
Iowa early this morning but there was no precipitation. Overnight
temperatures fell into the teens and 20s, and even the single digits
in spots southwest, but had bottomed out and were now steady or
slowly rising heading toward daybreak. This was due to the
aforementioned clouds and south to southwest winds at 5 to 10 mph.
The primary weather themes as we head through the week toward
Thanksgiving will be dry conditions and slowly moderating
temperatures. Highs across the region today will be in the 20s north
to lower 40s south and eventually the 30s and 40s Wednesday and 40s
and 50s by Thanksgiving.
This dry stretch will come to an end after Thanksgiving however.
Chances for rain return to the forecast Friday, possibly with some
brief light snow early, and additional chances for rain or snow that
could impact return travel Sunday.
