YET ANOTHER WINTER HINT: DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE ENDLESS SUMMER OF 2007 WHEN 80 DEGREE TEMPS WERE THE NORM WELL INTO OCTOBER? HUMMM: I'M THINKING WE'RE SEEING A PATTERN HERE..... I WONDER WHEN THE POLITICIANS AT NOAA/NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CHANGE THEIR WARM AND DRY WINTER FORECAST.............HECK, I MAY EVEN HAVE TO UP MY DECEMBER SNOW FORECAST IF THIS TREND KEEPS UP!!!!!!!!!........
IN THE MEANTIME: A WARM FRONT OVER THE IOWA/MO BORDER WILL PUSH NORTH TODAY - WARMING TEMPS INTO THE MID 80'S. AT THE SAME TIME, LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM OVER WYOMING AND DRAGS A COLD FRONT EAST INTO NRN IOWA TONITE.....EXPECT COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY MORNING, SPARKING TSHOWERS IN POW COUNTY - THEN GO STATIONARY OVER SRN IOWA. THE FRONT WILL ONCE AGAIN PUSH BACK NORTH THRU THE DAY WED. WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTH AND TEMPS WILL RISE BACK INTO THE LOW 80'S.
THE NEXT COOL FRONT EXPECTED ON THURSDAY. THIS ONE APPEARS ABIT STRONGER THAN THE PASSAGE ON TUESDAY. WE MAY SEE A COUPLE POCKETS OF HEAVIER RAINFALL, OR MAYBE EVEN SEE AN ISOALTED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. ONCE THRU US, THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE A SOUTHEAST TREK - ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD INTO IOWA BY LATER FRIDAY.....TOTAL RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT 5 DAYS COULD EASILY SURPASS 2 INCHES.

On this day in Iowa weather history...
1980: Late season severe thunderstorms moved from west to east across northern Iowa with 70 to 75 mph wind gusts and hail up to baseball size producing widespread crop losses and significant damage. At Ricketts in Crawford County every north and west facing window was broken by the hail. Further north a tornado passed through portions of Spencer leveling several metal warehouse buildings in an industrial park. Later another tornado tracked across north central Iowa passing just south of Leland and Lake Mills while destroying several farm homes and outbuildings. Another storm produced golf ball sized hail between Nora Springs and Rudd in Floyd County.
