Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
306 AM CDT Mon Oct 3 2022
High level clouds were filtering in over the northwestern half of the
state with an otherwise clear sky. Winds were light from the southeast
and temperatures as of 3am were in the 50s with a few locations
reporting the upper 40s such as in the Nishnabotna Valley.
A few final fine fall days will prevail with temperatures seasonably
warm in the 70s across the state through Wednesday. However, a change
is on the horizon as a cold front moves through the region on
Wednesday, which will bring chances of scattered light rain showers
preceding and along this front. Cooler air will be directed into the
state on brisk winds on Thursday with a reinforcing cold front
bringing frosty conditions to many parts of Iowa Friday morning. Highs
across much of Iowa on Friday will be no better than the low or
middle 50s.
