Cold Weather On Its Way

Statewide Iowa — Tuesday was the start of a downhill slide for temperatures in the state which have been unseasonably warm.

National Weather Services meteorologist, Kenny Podrazik, says that’s going to change as cold air moves in.

Podrazik says we had a nice run of warmer than normal temperatures.

He says the rain will start early Wednesday.

He doesn’t expect any accumulation of snow. Podrazik says if you haven’t gotten your winter coat out yet — you’ll need it by Friday.

After a series of warm weekends for fall yard work — this weekend is one where people will probably stay inside.

While the temperatures will drop — they won’t be anything like 1991. The N-W-S says unusually early bitter cold temperatures settled across Iowa on November 7th and 8th of that year with most stations experiencing their earliest subzero temperatures on record. Low temperatures on the 8th included -15 in Sheldon, -2 at Burlington, -8 at Bedford and Grinnell, -11 at Sac City, -12 at Atlantic and Le Mars, -13 at Cherokee and Perry, and -14 at Guthrie Center.
