A few showers were also occurring ahead of the trough as it gradually pushed southeast. Behind the boundary, winds were generally west with readings in the 40s. Scattered showers are expected in far southern Iowa through daybreak with the rainfall ending by mid morning in the southeast. Otherwise, a cold front slides into the state today with winds increasing from the northwest. Temperatures are forecast to top out around 60 in the far north and near 70 in the south as the cooler air doesn't arrive until later in the day. Tonight and beyond: Cooler and dry conditions are expected tonight into Wednesday as surface ridging slides across the Midwest. Overnight low are expected to drop to near freezing in northeast Iowa with the possibility of frost and freeze conditions late tonight. Otherwise, mostly sunny skies are forecast on Wednesday with near normal temperatures. A more active weather pattern develops across the region later Thursday and into the weekend. A couple of different storm systems are expected to produce widespread showers and storms Thursday night into Friday evening and again from late Saturday into Sunday evening. It appears there may be a brief break in activity early Saturday between the systems. The threat for some severe storms exists, especially on Friday with heavy rainfall possible from both of the systems. $$
