TURNING MORE ACTIVE...

After a sunny (and at times windy) weekend, the pattern is going to be turning more active in the new week. Sunday will be a pleasant fall day with near normal temperatures:

Warmer air will build in as a big ridge of high pressure moves in early in the week:

It will start with some showers and storms moving through early Monday morning ahead of the warm air:

Temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s as the sun comes out in the afternoon:

There will be another round of storms on Tuesday:

Some may be strong, especially in northeast Iowa. Large hail will be the primary threat.

Some rain will linger into Wednesday:

And another round on Thursday:

We'll talk more details and the cold air that follows in my next post.
