WEATHER SUMMARY FOR IOWA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
500 PM CDT MON SEP 11 2006

WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS PERSISTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN IOWA 
THIS AFTERNOON.  ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM NOON THROUGH 4 PM 
WERE GENERALLY UNDER A TENTH OF AN INCH.  THE CLOUDS AND RAIN KEPT 
TEMPERATURES QUITE FALL LIKE WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S 
ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE.  UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S WERE 
COMMON IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF IOWA.  THE EXCEPTION 
WAS SOUTHEASTERN IOWA.  SOME SUNSHINE MADE IT THROUGH THE CLOUDS FOR 
A FEW HOURS AND THAT DROVE TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S.  
A NORTH WIND AT 5 TO 10 MPH WAS COMMON ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE 
AFTERNOON HOURS.

THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 24 HOURS AS 
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST OUT OF CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO 
ILLINOIS.  AT THE SAME TIME...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM 
WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY.  THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL BRING IN COOLER AIR AND SHOULD 
KEEP THE CLOUD COVER OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST ALTHOUGH THE BULK OF THE 
RAIN WILL BE IN ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN.  IF THE SUN IS ABLE TO BREAK 
THROUGH THE CLOUDS ON TUESDAY THEN WE COULD SEE SOME MORE SHOWERS 
POP UP OVER IOWA AND POINTS SOUTH.

THE WEATHER LOOKS TRANQUIL FROM MID WEEK UNTIL THE WEEKEND.  A 
FAIRLY POTENT STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE TAKING SHAPE AND MOVING INTO 
THE REGION FOR LATE IN THE WEEKEND BRINGING US OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR 
RAINFALL.  TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE 50S WITH HIGHS 
TOMORROW STILL HAMPERED BY CLOUD COVER.  AFTERNOON READINGS FOR 
TUESDAY WILL STILL BE IN THE 50S AND 60S.  HIGHS FOR THE REMAINDER 
OF THE WEEK WILL BE MORE SEASONAL WITH READINGS IN THE 70S TO LOWER 
80S.
