SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THAT FOR US THERE. ALSO, I WANT TO THANK MOTHER NATURE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, TODAY A LITTLE BIT WARMER. YEAH. BUT MAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. EVERYBODY THAT WAS CLAMORING FOR THE WARMER TEMPERATURES TO COME BACK BEFORE IT GETS TOO, TOO COLD. PRETTY HAPPY. YEAH. THEY’RE BACK FOR YOU THIS WEEKEND, SO GET READY. YEAH. TODAY. NOT SO BAD OUT THERE. BEEN A LOT OF SUNSHINE. YES, ON THE WARMER SIDE, BUT NOT TOO HUMID. AND ONCE THE SUN WENT DOWN HERE THIS EVENING, IT’S BEEN A PRETTY PLEASANT THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE HANGING ON NEAR 70 NOW IN ALTOONA. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A WIND OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST AT ABOUT SIX MILES PER HOUR. TEMPERATURES ARE STILL RUNNING A GOOD FIVE, MAYBE TEN DEGREES IF YOU’RE IN SOUTHWEST IOWA, WARMER TODAY OR NOW, I SHOULD SAY, THAN THIS TIME. SAME TIME YESTERDAY EVENING. SO WE KIND OF ARE ON THAT WARMING TREND, ESPECIALLY FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE DAYTIME HOURS AS WELL. TEMPERATURE WISE HERE IN THE METRO, WE’RE HANGING OUT IN THE 70S FOR A LOT OF SPOTS. UPPER 60S IN ALTOONA CARLISLE 70 DOWN IN NORWALK, 70 OUT TOWARDS MINBURN. AND THEN WE’RE AT 74 RIGHT NOW IN WEST DES MOINES. OUR TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY GET HOTTER HERE AS WE HEAD CLOSER TOWARDS THE WEEKEND. WE’RE TALKING LOW 90S ON FRIDAY, SO WE DO JUMP UP QUITE A BIT HERE TOMORROW. HOTTEST DAYS COMING THIS WEEKEND, PROBABLY SATURDAY. THE HOTTEST WILL STAY IN THE LOW 90S THOUGH, GOING INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY. NORMAL HIGHS UPPER 70, SO WE’LL BE WELL ABOVE THAT HERE GOING INTO THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND. WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAYBE FLIRT WITH SOME RECORDS HERE. BEST DAY LOOKING SATURDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE OUR BEST DAY TO MAYBE TIE OR POTENTIALLY BREAK A RECORD HIGHS COMING IN AT 95. THE RECORD THERE SATURDAY 96 TOMORROW. WE’RE TALKING LOW 90S 93. OUR FORECAST HERE TOMORROW. THAT RECORD STANDS AT 96 DEGREES SET BACK IN 1927. SO I DON’T THINK WE’LL BREAK ANYTHING TOMORROW. BUT IT’S STILL GOING TO BE A WARM ONE. WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF SMOKE AND HAZE ON THE HORIZON HERE TODAY. YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT IT’S LIKELY GOING TO LINGER AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. I THINK THE GOOD NEWS IS, A LOT OF OUR MODELS ARE SHOWING THAT WILDFIRE SMOKE KIND OF LINGERING JUST A LITTLE BIT. IT’S MORE ON THE THINNER SIDE. SO WE’RE NOT TALKING A LOT OF THICK SMOKE OUT THERE, BUT YOU MAY NOTICE IT ON THE HORIZON AND IT COULD IMPACT OUR AIR QUALITY, WHICH WE’VE SEEN AT TIMES HERE TODAY. IT’S KIND OF FLUCTUATING BETWEEN GOOD AND MODERATE. HERE YOU’LL SEE CURRENT AIR QUALITY DOES HAVE A PATCH OF NORTH CENTRAL INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN IOWA IN THAT MODERATE AIR QUALITY TO. SO SOMETHING TO JUST BE MINDFUL OF IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO THOSE PARTICLES OUTSIDE. AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF TONIGHT, WE’LL KEEP A FEW CLOUDS AROUND. I THINK TOMORROW WILL FEATURE A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS, BUT OVERALL MAINLY SUNNY. MAYBE AGAIN. A LITTLE BIT OF HAZE AND SMOKE IN THE SKY. WE SHOULD STAY DRY. THIS MODEL WANTS TO BRING IN A FEW SHOWERS, MAYBE A QUICK STORM UP INTO NORTH, CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN IOWA. I THINK A LOT OF US ARE DRY, BUT THERE’S THAT POTENTIAL FOR A QUICK SHOWER HERE NORTH OF THE METRO. OTHERWISE, WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY. I THINK WE’RE DRY SATURDAY. OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN LIKELY NOT COMING UNTIL LATE SUNDAY. SO TONIGHT WE COOL OFF A LITTLE BIT MID 60S IN THE CITY, SLIGHTLY COOLER IN THOSE OUTLYING AREAS. TOMORROW’S FORECAST WILL PUT US BACK INTO THE 90S. WE’RE TALKING MORE SUNSHINE. EIGHT DAY FORECAST WILL KEEP US IN THE 90S ALL THE WAY THROUGH TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. SO PRETTY LONG STRETCH HERE OF 90 DEGREE TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD FURTHER INTO SEPTEMBER. BEST CHANCE OF RAIN LIKELY COMING LATE SUNDAY, ALTHOUGH THAT CHANCE PRETTY ISOLATED. AND THEN WE’LL SEE JUST A FEW
