A Cold, but Dry Front over the MN/ND border will move thru Central Iowa around midnite tonite. Prior to frontal passage, expect gusty southwest winds helping warm temps to near 90 in Pow County. High temps will drop 25+ degrees for the remainder of the week. The big story will be morning Low Temps as they dip down to near 15 degrees below average for mid Sept. Wed nite into Thursday morning should be the coolest temps - with widespread mid/high 30's thru-out Central Iowa. Thursday morning may usher in our first Light Frost - especially in lower lying areas. Expect a slight warm up for the weekend. Next best good shot at rainfall will be next Monday and Tuesday.
Today and Tues 12th/13th: Dry and Breezy - Temps 88/73.
Wed thru Friday 14th-16th: Dry - High Temps Low/Mid 60's - Low Temps 38-42.
Sat and Sunday 17th/18th: Dry Sat - Tshowers Sun - Temps Low 70's.
Monday and Tues 19th/20th: Breezy - Tshowers Mon into early Tues - Temps Mid 60's.
Wed 21st thru Fri 30th: Mainly Dry pattern with little to no rainfall - Temps will start out in the Mid/High 70's, dropping to the mid 60's after the 25th - Gusty winds from the 23rd to the 25th.
What will the Winter of 2011/12 bring?
Here's my best guess right now. I'll refine it as time goes on. It may change - but it won't change alot.......
Pow County will see Seasonal "Average Daily" Temps up thru Dec - then Jan, Feb, and Mar will be 3 Degrees Below Average.
Nov:
Average Snowfall - 2.1"
Forercast - 2.5"
Dec:
Average Snowfall - 6.5"
Forecast - 7.5"
Jan:
Average Snowfall - 8.1"
Forecast - 10"
Feb:
Average Snowfall - 7.2"
Forecast - 8.5"
Mar:
Average Snowfall - 3.8"
Forecast - 4.5"
Our Average Snowfall between November and March is 27.7". I'm forecasting a Total Snowfall of 33.0" - which is 5.3" Above Normal for the time period.
April: We'll see an inch or two early April.
