Des Moines, Iowa — State Climatologist Justin Glisan (Glisten) says the back and forth shifts from cold to warm are typical of the weather as we enter spring. He says the signs right now show a temporary move back to warmer temperatures.
Glisan says the weather is shifting out of a weak La Nina pattern and that will impact the rest of the spring.
Glisten says if the cooler trend happens it could mean we see fewer severe storms.
Glisan says that would be a good thing if it holds true.
Wetter conditions would help with the dry conditions the state has experienced.
