On this day in Iowa weather history...
1950: A line of thunderstorms produced an interesting temperature effect across portions of central and southern Iowa. As the storms approached Des Moines shortly before noon the temperature shot up 14 degrees in just 5 minutes, reaching 87 F and setting a daily high temperature record. As the storms passed the temperature then receded back into the lower 70s for the remainder of the day.
