Iowa weather: Fall feels Saturday with chances for 80 Sunday

Iowa weather: Fall feels Saturday with chances for 80 Sunday
WE’VE GOT A GLORIOUS WEEKEND AHEAD AGAIN. KIND OF A SPLIT ON WHAT THE DAYS ARE GOING TO BE LIKE HERE. SATURDAY. UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. SUNDAY, UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S. SO GOT ENOUGH NICE WEATHER TO GO AROUND FOR FOLKS OF ALL VARIETIES I GUESS HERE EVEN MONDAY WE’LL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. BREEZY ON SUNDAY, AND WE’VE GOT A SYSTEM THAT’S GOING TO BE PUSHING ITS WAY ON IN THAT WILL KICK UP THOSE WINDS. YOU CAN SEE ON SATURDAY LARGELY JUST CLOUDS OUT OF THAT. BUT AS WE START TO PUSH OUR WAY INTO SUNDAY, A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE UP THROUGH NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE, MAYBE AMES UPWARDS TOWARDS FORT DODGE. OTHERWISE, THE MAIN SLUG OF MOISTURE DOESN’T ARRIVE UNTIL EARLY MONDAY MORNING, 6 A.M. YOU CAN SEE IT DOWN TO THE SOUTHWEST THERE. THAT WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THAT’S GOING TO MAKE IT HARD FOR US TO GET MUCH WARMER THAN LOW TO MID 60S. SO IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A COOL DAY, WELL, YOU’RE LOOKING AT MONDAY. AND BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, AS YOU’LL SEE COMING UP, WE’VE GOT EVEN COOLER DAYS AHEAD. COULD SEE AROUND MAYBE 4/10 OF AN INCH FOR THE METRO AREAS AROUND THERE COMING IN AT AROUND A QUARTER OF AN INCH OR SO. THE WIND THOUGH, YOU’RE DEFINITELY GOING TO FEEL THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SUNDAY. SATURDAY LOOKS FINE. THOSE WINDS START TO CRANK THOUGH, INTO SUNDAY. GUSTS OF 30 TO 35MPH POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SUNDAY. SO IF YOU ARE HEADED OUT TO, SAY, THE COVERED BRIDGE FESTIVAL, I’LL PLAN ON IT BEING A LITTLE BIT BREEZY ON SUNDAY TOMORROW THOUGH. AGAIN, NOT BAD. MIDDLE 40S IS WHERE WE START. WE’RE BACK UP INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. WE’LL HAVE A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN FOR MUCH OF THE DAY, AND YOU LOOK AT THE FORECAST FOR TOMORROW. PRETTY GOOD. 70 FOR AMES GRINNELL AT 70 AREAS OFF TO THE SOUTH IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. THEN WE GO UP TO 80 ON SUNDAY AND THEN RIGHT BACK DOWN TO 69 ON MONDAY FOR THOSE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. THAT’S THE FORECAST FOR CENTRAL IOWA AS WELL. AMES COMING IN AT 70, MARSHALLTOWN 69, NEWTON 71. AND TO THE NORTH IT’S GETTING COOLER A LOT QUICKER HERE MONDAY ONLY TOPPING OUT AT 63 DEGREES WITH THAT CHANCE FOR RAIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SO INTO THE EVENING WE’RE BACK DOWN INTO THE MIDDLE 40S AGAIN. A LITTLE BIT OF A CHILL OUT THERE, BUT WE’LL BE HANGING ON TO THE CLOUD COVER. THAT EIGHT DAY FORECAST. WE’RE BOUNCING AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE BACK TO 80 ON SUNDAY, 69 ON MONDAY WITH THAT CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AND THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 63 ON TUESDAY. BUT FROM THERE, GREEN LIGHT GO. WE’RE BACK UP ALL THE WAY TO 7
