Following a storm system earlier today, the next few days will be pleasant and mostly dry. Lows tonight in the 30s, with highs through Saturday in the 40s.

Here are some Veterans Day weather history facts...
On the morning of Veterans Day, thunderstorm clusters tracked across parts of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois. These storms produced significant amounts of small hail and isolated larger hail up to an inch, as well as a narrow corridor of 50-60 mph wind gusts and rainfall of 1-2 inches.
After a brief period of cooler weather at the end of this week, warmer temperatures to arrive once again next week. There is a 70-90% chance of above normal temperatures across much of eastern IA and northwest IL going into the Great Lakes. A large upper level ridge next week will keep us dry through the start of next week before rain chances return late next week.
