Extreme Temperature Swings: Record Heat, Cold Fronts, and Storms
After experiencing record-breaking heat with three consecutive days of 90+ degree highs in Des Moines, Iowa, a temperature change is on the horizon. A trough of low pressure moving in from the western United States will bring clouds, precipitation, and cooler air to the region by mid-week. Rain chances are expected from Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, but heavy rain and severe weather are not anticipated. Following the cold front, much cooler temperatures are forecasted, with lows potentially dipping into the 30s in parts of Iowa on Saturday morning.
