Statewide Iowa (RI) – Iowans who are bundled up in their winter coats, hats, and gloves on Monday may be back in shorts and t-shirts to wrap up their yard work by the weekend.
Meteorologist Brooke Hagenhoff, at the National Weather Service, says we’re in for a big warmup soon, but it follows a weekend during which most Iowans saw at least some snowfall, with accumulation in several areas.
After a weekend of below-freezing temperatures, much of the state only had highs in the 30s on Monday, but Hagenhoff says that’ll quickly change.
While it likely won’t be warm enough this weekend to need the air conditioner, she says it’ll be a good bet you can turn off the furnace, at least temporarily.
We’re still more than a month from the start of winter, which officially arrives on December 21st.
