WILL BENEFIT CHILDREN’S CANCER CONNECTION. SO WHEN THESE BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF ART. THEY ROLL OUT AND THEY GET INTO PLACE FOR THE CONCORDE. WE’VE GOT TO HAVE GOOD WEATHER FOR THEM BECAUSE RAIN DOES NOT TOUCH THOSE BODIES. YEAH, I MEAN, WE GOT TO KEEP THEM DRY. I MEAN, TOO BEAUTIFUL TO MESS UP WITH THAT WET, RAINY STUFF. JASON, I AGREE, SOME OF THOSE CARS ARE JUST WONDERFUL WORKS OF ART. AND I GOT TO SAY, THE WEATHER CAN BE TOO. AND WELL, I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE GLORIOUS OUT THERE FOR THOSE FOR THAT EVENT. YOU LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURE, WE’RE AT 72 FOR A HIGH. IT’S GOING TO BE CALM WIND. WE’LL HAVE SUNNY SKIES SATURDAY LOOKING GOOD AS WELL. ONLY PROBLEM. MORNING HOURS GOING TO BE QUITE CHILLY. WE’LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT IN A SECOND. STILL DEALING WITH SOME SHOWERS OFF TO THE EAST. MARSHALL COUNTY UPWARDS TOWARDS WATERLOO. EAST TOWARDS CEDAR RAPIDS. THAT AREA OF RAIN IS GOING TO CONTINUE OUT OF THE STATE. AND BEHIND IT WE’RE LEFT WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. ON FRIDAY. THOSE WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY START TO TAPER BACK AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING. WHEN WE CLEAR OUT THE SKIES FURTHER AND MAKE FOR REALLY JUST A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND. COULD SEE AN ISOLATED SHOWER RIGHT UP ALONG THE MINNESOTA BORDER. OTHER THAN THAT, WE’RE DRY AND HEADING IN TOWARDS SUNDAY. WE KEEP THOSE SKIES CLEAR AND PUT TOGETHER AN ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS WEEKEND AHEAD FOR US. ANY RAIN AGAIN IS GOING TO BE LIGHT. JUST LITTLE SPITS OF RAIN OFF TO THE EAST THAT ARE LEFT WITH THAT DECAYING SYSTEM THAT HAS WORKED ITS WAY ON THROUGH. SO AS WE SETTLE IN FOR ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT HYPE, THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD. TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S FOR KICKOFF. MAKE SURE YOU BREAK OUT THAT FAVORITE HOODIE VALLEY AT WAUKEE NORTHWEST 63. THERE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. MARSHALLTOWN AT WATERLOO, EAST AT 61. AMES AT URBANDALE. COMING IN AT 64. SO WE’VE HAD A PRETTY COOL DAY TODAY. THAT HIGH WAS 72. AND IN FACT THAT IS THE LOWEST HIGH TEMPERATURE WE’VE HAD FOR SEPTEMBER 4TH IN 28 YEARS. YEAH. PREVIOUS WITH 71 BACK IN 1997. SO WE’VE GOT SOME COLD MORNINGS HEADED OUR WAY SATURDAY MORNING. WE’VE GOT SOME 30S OFF TO THE NORTHWEST, MAINLY LOW 40S THOUGH. AND IF YOU DO HAVE PLANS TO HEAD OUT TO TAILGATE AT THE CY-HAWK GAME, BUNDLE UP A LITTLE BIT. WON’T BE TOO BAD AND TEMPERATURES WARM UP PRETTY QUICKLY BY KICKOFF. WE’RE IN THE LOW 60S WITH A LIGHT BREEZE, AND AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE END OF THAT GAME, TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY PUSHING UPWARDS TOWARDS 70 DEGREES. SUNDAY MORNING, THOUGH EVEN COLDER, THERE WILL BE SPOTS TO THE NORTHWEST IN THE MIDDLE 30S, OTHERWISE LARGELY UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S ACROSS THE STATE. NOT QUITE. TIME TO COVER, THOUGH. COVER THOSE PLANTS YOU’VE GOT OUTSIDE. BUT WE’RE GETTING CLOSER. STARTING THE DAY OFF TOMORROW IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S, WE’LL TOP BACK OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S IN THE AFTERNOON. EIGHT DAY FORECAST, THOUGH, SHOWS A WARM UP HERE. WE BOUNCE FROM 44 SUNDAY MORNING TO 84 BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THERE’S A CHANCE FOR RAIN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. REALLY ON WEDNESDAY. THAT’S LOOKING EARLY IN THE MORNING. BUT EVEN AFTER THAT SYSTEM ROLLS THROUGH,
