Clouds were spiraling back into the state so while there are a few clear spots, most areas had cloud cover. Temperatures ranged from the low 60s with a southerly wind ahead of the cold front over eastern Iowa to the upper 40s with a west wind over western Iowa. As the sun rises, we won`t have to talk about severe weather chances for today with a dry forecast in store for Iowans. Temperatures will peak in the middle 50s over northern Iowa to the middle and upper 60s over southern Iowa. It will be a bit breezy with winds from a westerly direction averaging 10 to 20 mph. Tonight and beyond: As skies clear tonight and winds calm, temperatures will fall into the upper 30s in some places over northern Iowa with 40s in most other locations. In addition, patchy fog may develop. Severe storm chances will make their return Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night as storms track out of Nebraska into Iowa. The main threats are damaging wind gust and large hail. The active pattern will continue through the middle and latter part of the week with intervals of storm chances. Temperatures will be above normal much of the week with highs in the 60s and 70s. $$ Ansorge
