Iowa’s midweek warmth brings relief after a frosty start
Iowans can look forward to a warming trend this week, with temperatures expected to climb into the 50s by Wednesday and potentially reach the 70s in eastern Iowa by Saturday.
After a chilly start to the week, with Manchester experiencing a low of 20 degrees and a trace of snow over the weekend, the state can expect a significant turnaround. By Wednesday, high temperatures are forecast to reach the 50s, providing a welcome respite from the cold. However, it's important to note that while the end of October is typically mild, current forecasts do not indicate any city reaching 70 degrees Fahrenheit (around 21 degrees Celsius) on Saturday. Long-term predictions suggest winter temperatures in northern Iowa may be near or below normal, with southern regions experiencing variable conditions.
In summary, Iowans can enjoy a brief spell of warmer weather this week, with temperatures climbing into the 50s by Wednesday and potentially reaching the 70s in eastern Iowa by Saturday. However, it's unlikely that any city will hit 70 degrees on Saturday, and winter temperatures are expected to be typical or colder in the north, with variable conditions in the south.
