WEATHER SUMMARY FOR IOWA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
453 PM CST MON MAR 7 2005

WINDY CONDITIONS CONTINUED ACROSS IOWA TODAY AS A STRONG SYSTEM 
SLOWLY PULLED EAST OF THE REGION. THE STRONGEST WIND OCCURRED EARLY 
IN THE DAY. THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...NORTHWEST WINDS AVERAGED 20 TO 
25 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 35 MPH. OVERCAST SKIES GAVE WAY TO PARTLY 
CLOUDY CONDITIONS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. A FEW FLURRIES 
OCCURRED EARLY IN THE DAY OVER THE NORTHEAST. TEMPERATURES CONTINUED 
TO FALL THROUGH MID DAY...THEN CLIMBED A FEW DEGREES DURING THE MID 
AFTERNOON. LATE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE LOWER 30S 
NORTHEAST TO THE MID 40S ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY.

AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE EAST OF THE REGION MOVES FARTHER AWAY 
TONIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTHEAST FROM THE 
NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS WILL ALLOW SKIES TO 
CLEAR AND WINDS TO DIMINISH. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEASONALLY 
COOL AND WILL RANGE FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO OVER NORTHERN 
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN TO THE 20S ACROSS KANSAS AND MISSOURI. 
ANOTHER WEAK UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL DIVE SOUTH ACROSS THE 
CENTRAL PLAINS TUESDAY AND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. AS IT DOES... 
AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW WILL SPREAD SOUTHEAST FROM THE DAKOTAS INTO 
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA...WESTERN IOWA AND EASTERN NEBRASKA. LIGHT RAIN 
WILL OCCUR FURTHER SOUTH FROM KANSAS INTO MISSOURI. LITTLE CHANGE IN 
TEMPERATURE IS EXPECTED THROUGH MID WEEK AS HIGHS GENERALLY RANGE 
FROM THE 20S OVER THE NORTHWEST GREAT LAKES TO THE 40S AND LOWER 50S 
OVER MISSOURI AND KANSAS. ANOTHER FAST MOVING SYSTEM WILL SPREAD 
LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW CHANCES OVER THE AREA THURSDAY. MOST OF THIS 
PRECIPITATION WILL BE CONFINED TO MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN WITH LIGHT 
AMOUNTS AND LOWER CHANCES FROM IOWA INTO ILLINOIS.
