And second half of the weekend looks a lot warmer and a little we saw a lot of clouds in our skies today. Tonight those are starting to move out. Theyve already cleared out of northern and western communities and trying to break up in the southeast. Temperatures out there tonight are kind of reflecting that where the skies have cleared, it is definitely quite a bit cooler. 66 in decorah. 67 in wurlt la and cedar rapids. Around iowa city, the temperature there is at 73 degrees. Heres the high temperatures from around the state of iowa and readings were below normal across the entire state. The warmest area way down in the southeast, burlington managed to get up to 81 degrees but only 75 around decorah and even on the western border of the state.

Temperatures are expected to be back in the upper 70s for highs across must of eastern iowa. Moderate levels around 64 to 65. You can see to the south 70th degree due points are lurking into missouri. Sunday they will push more into the area and next week is potential with scattered showers and storms. Tonights forecast is a quiet one and temperatures getting back into the mid 50s in the northwest to around 60 in the far south. Winds out of the north from here on out, pretty light. Clouds increasing tomorrow during the afternoon. Well call for a mixture early on. Temperatures around 74 in decorah. 75 in charles city. Into the upper 70s close to 80 degrees.
