 +----------------------------------------------

The first two days of fall have felt more like summer with highs in the 80s and muggy conditions.  This warm and moist air is streaming north ahead of an approaching cold front just to our west. This front will slowly creep east today sparking thunderstorms in Western Iowa.  The rest of the week will feel more like fall with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s/50s.
