Your first alert: cold next week, watch for a storm system

Temperatures remain cold during Thanksgiving week, with highs in the 30s through Thanksgiving and lows in the 20s. After Thanksgiving, another burst of cold air arrives and our temperatures drop even further, in the 20s for maximum temperatures and close to 10% for minimum temperatures.

We are also seeing a storm system expected to move across the United States mid-week. Depending on which direction the storm goes, we could see some snow falling in Iowa just before Thanksgiving. These forecasts are still current and could change to snowier or drier. We will continue to update you in the coming days as further details regarding the impacts and timeline become clear. Stay tuned and consider this your first active weather alert this week.
