3Oct/11Off

Des Moines, Iowa

To kick off the workweek, we head off to the heart of Iowa! Figuratively of course, given I ran a marathon yesterday and takes me about an hour to walk to the kitchen, the internet is definitely the best way to travel today! The weather was beautiful over the Upper Midwest yesterday, will it continue?

At 3:54pm CDT, the temperature at Des Moines, IA was 80 degrees under fair skies. A large high pressure ridge has entrenched itself over the Central US and doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon. In fact, high pressure near Hudson Bay looks to build down in to the Great Lakes/MS River Valley region later on in the week. While a slow=-moving storm system moves out of the Northeast, and a pair of storms hit the Western US, most of the Central US will remain high and dry! Later on in the week, things could get a little blustery as southerly flow enhances ahead of a low pressure system getting going over the Northern Plains, but until then, sunshine and warm temps for Des Moines!

Tuesday: Sunny. High 82, Low 50.
Wednesday: Continued sunny, a few clouds perhaps. High 81, Low 55.

TWC: Tuesday: Sunny, High 85, Low 51.
Wednesday: Sunny. High 85, Low 57.

AW: Tuesday: Mostly sunny, a few clouds. High 78, Low 49.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny, nice and warm. High 80, Low 55.

NWS: Tuesday: Sunny. High 83, Low 49.
Wednesday: Sunny. High 82, Low 52.

WB: Tuesday: Sunny. High 82, Low 50.
Wednesday: Sunny. High 82, Low 52.

Most of the Plains are absent of clouds today, and looks to remain so through midweek. Perfect time to get in those last rounds of golf before the weather makes a permanent change for the cooler.
