Iowa weather: Skies dry out by Wednesday morning with sunshine returning, dry Halloween

Iowa weather: Skies dry out by Wednesday morning with sunshine returning, dry Halloween
YEAH. THAT’S RIGHT. WELL, WE’LL BE THERE IN A FEW DAYS, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST FULL DAY WITH RAIN. WE’LL AGAIN SEE THIS CARRY OVER INTO TOMORROW, BUT STILL DEALING WITH SOME STEADY RAIN FALLING UP NEAR AMES. METRO’S GOT LIGHT RAIN. YOU GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE NORTH AGAIN. THAT BAND FROM GRINNELL ALL THE WAY THROUGH MARSHALLTOWN. CLARION WESTWARD HAS BEEN PRODUCING A DECENT STEADY RAINFALL, AND THAT CONTINUES DOWN TOWARDS LAKE PANORAMA. SO AS WE ZOOM OUT STATEWIDE, STILL POCKETS OF MODERATE RAIN FALLING DOWN. OSCEOLA AREA AND DOWN NEAR NEW VIRGINIA AS WELL. LAMONI PICKING UP ON A LITTLE BIT AS WELL. BUT AS FAR AS THE RAIN IS CONCERNED, THIS IS GOING TO SCOOT OUT OF HERE AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW MORNING. IT WILL REALLY LIGHTEN FOR US. SO YOU MAY WAKE UP TO SOME SHOWERS AS YOU HEAD OFF TO WORK, BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE CONTINUING ALL DAY. AND IN FACT, YOU CAN SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS OUT NEAR CEDAR RAPIDS. THAT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO DRY OUT FOR US. SO THERE’S A DECENT CHANCE WE SNEAK IN A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE OUT THERE BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO THAT 30% THAT I’VE GOT FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY IS LARGELY 10 A.M. IN PRYOR. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE’RE LOOKING AT DRIER SKIES. WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE 50S FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS HERE. SUNNIER SKIES ON THURSDAY, AND THEN WE COOL DOWN 49 ON SATURDAY. COULD EVEN SEE A STRAY SHOWER. LOOK AT THE MORNINGS, TOO. WE’RE TALKING TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN INTO THE LOW TO MID 30S BY THURSDAY MORNING. SO YOUR HALLOWEEN FORECAST AND EARLY LOOK FOR YOU IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BREEZY AT TIMES. COULD SEE SOME WINDS OF AROUND 10 TO 20MPH. OTHERWISE WE’RE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 50S. AND AS YOU HEAD THROUGH TRICK OR TREATING, THAT WIND IS GOING TO DIE BACK DOWN A LITTLE BIT. SO IT DOES LOOK TO BE A GOOD DAY. IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO GO OUT AND GET A HUGE BAG OF CANDY. BUT LOOKING AT YOUR AT YOUR RAINFALL AMOUNTS THAT WE COULD SEE AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT AROUND A 10TH TO PERHAPS A THIRD OF AN INCH. ALTHOUGH AGAIN, I DON’T THINK THAT WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE A MUCH MODERATE RAIN FALLING AS THAT CONTINUES TO DRY OUT A LITTLE BIT FOR US. WIND GUSTS THOUGH, INTO TOMORROW. EVENING. BY THE MORNING TIME FRAME WE’RE TALKING MID 20S TO LOW 30S FOR GUSTS. AND THIS WILL ACTUALLY TAPER BACK AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THAT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT’S BRINGING US THE RAIN. IT’S ALSO BRINGING US THE WIND ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS. AND AS THAT DEPARTS, WE’LL SEE THAT WIND WEAKEN GREATLY AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY. WIND WON’T BE TOO MUCH OF AN ISSUE FOR US, SO A PRETTY GOOD LOOKING STRETCH OF WEATHER FOR US ONCE WE GET PAST ALL OF THIS RAIN AND WIND. BUT WIND ADVISORY IN PLACE, THAT IS TONIGHT, ALL THE WAY THROUGH 4 A.M. TOMORROW. AS FOR THAT, WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE COULD SEE SOME GUSTS UPWARDS OF 45MPH. SO WE LOOK AT THE DAY TOMORROW, THOUGH. NOT BAD. WE’RE BACK UP INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S BY THE AFTERNOON WITH THOSE SUNNY SKIES. EIGHT DAY FORECAST TAKES US DOWN TO 52 FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS. AND THEN AS WE GO TO FALL BACK, WE’RE AT 49 ON SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES, THOUGH, ARE NOT FALLING BACK. FROM THERE. WE GAIN TEN DEGRE
