And before you turn the lights back on, have the city inspect the area to make sure that it is safe. And terry w terry swails is joining us right now as it seems like the temperatures are finally aligning with the season. Yes, thats right. One of the warmest and the and so i dont think that we are quite used to the cooler temperatures just yet, but all of a sudden they are here, so we will get to the forecast here, including the weekend in just a minute. But right now we are at 71 degrees, we have had ourselves a Beautiful Day out there with a lot of sun around eastern iowa and those temperatures in the 70s, the winds today, theyre out of the northeast at around 15 miles per hour. And the dew point is nice and low at 49 degrees. So as we would go to todays high temperatures, what youll nd they were in the 70s today. These readings, they are actually four to five degrees above normal. But out to the northwest of us a little chillier around spencer and fort dodge where the temperatures there, they did hold in the upper 60s today. Now what were watching for is a disturbance that is showing somesigns of backing up a little bit. But they will arrive from the east to the west, getting into after midnight. On the radar we are noting a few light showers around. Not too much of the sprinkles. But some of those, they could advance into eastern iowa, that they will be light and widely scattered. Tomorrow night for the high school football, just a lot of those clouds are expected and seasonably Cool Temperatures look to be at 64 with the winds out of the northeast at 5 to 15 miles per hour. Here is a look temperatures. We are back in the upper 60s in dubuque and decorah. The rest of us somewhere in the lower 70s. As we go to the satellite one more time, you can see the storm we talked about out here over the ohio valley just kind of twirling around out here. This is cut off from the main jet stream flow, which is running up near the Canadian Border so there is nothing to push this along. So it is not going to move very much over the next couple of days. If anything, it is going to start moving back to the west. Four days unfold. And there goes the upper air low, drifting back towards eastern iowa and then kind of loops back towards chicago and eventually by early next week. They will track up into southeastern canada. So with that particular track, some energy will rotate up around the upper low to try to push that light precipitation back into eastern iowa. But the models will indicate only. 04 inches so it will not be much. Youll go a little bit further though to the east and the rain totals will be substantially higher, but the bottom all of this is that they will be getting close enough to it to cause more clouds as we go into the weekend and maybe a few light showers. Our predictor here at midnight will show you how the clouds will continue to advance in from the east and by tomorrow morning theyre getting into most of our region. At noontime were covered up in those clouds. Here and there a few sprinkles of rain, those will last through tomorrow night and finally by the time you get to saturday morning still a few light showers around, but nothing thats going to amount to a great deal just a lot of clouds. So your forecast for tonight as low temps will be back in the most areas and the skies will become partly cloudy to cloudy by the time we get to tomorrow morning. Then during the day tomorrow, the cloudy skies, cooler conditions. Maybe a stray brief shower or sprinkle. Most of us are holding in the mid to upper 60s for highs. The extended outlook will have a chance for showers on saturday, but only 20 . Im not expecting much there. Sunny looks to be an outstanding day with a little warm up as we get into tuesday and wednesday and then a better chance for showers and storms Late Wednesday and into thursday of next week.
