Iowa weather: Clouds and fog linger as rain moves out

Iowa weather: Clouds and fog linger as rain moves out
IOWA’S SCHOOLS. ALL RIGHT, LET’S GO AHEAD AND TURN BACK TO THE WEATHER NOW. JASON, THE PICTURE OUT THERE, VERY, VERY SOGGY. I-80 SOGGY. YEAH. WE’VE BEEN SEEING CLOUDS. WE’VE BEEN SEEING THE RAIN ALL DAY LONG. AND THANKFULLY, WE ARE STARTING TO SEE THIS MOVE ON OUT OF HERE. SO IF YOU’RE A FAN OF DRIER WEATHER, YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG. YOU CAN SEE, THOUGH, THAT WE’VE GOT THE RAIN DOWN ON THE ROADS UP THERE IN ALGONA AND REALLY ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE. WE’RE STILL SEEING LIMITED VISIBILITIES BECAUSE OF THAT AND A LITTLE BIT OF FOG THAT HAS SET UP. SO RAIN CONTINUES TO PUSH OUT OF THE METRO. YOU CAN SEE SOME SPOTS OF HEAVIER SHOWERS FROM GOWRIE UPWARDS TOWARDS FORT DODGE AND EVEN ALL THE WAY INTO MINNESOTA. WE’RE SEEING THAT RAIN. SO IF YOU’VE GOT PLANS THAT PUT YOU ON 35 NORTH, PLAN ON THAT PAVEMENT BEING WET ALL THE WAY INTO MINNESOTA AND WE’VE GOT MORE SHOWERS. IOWA FALLS DOWN TOWARDS AROUND GRUNDY CENTER OR SO. THAT’S SPANNING ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE AS WELL. GARDEN GROVE WEST TOWARDS GRAND RIVER. SO EVENTUALLY WE’RE GOING TO START TO SEE THIS LIGHTNING AND DYING OUT, AND YOU CAN EVEN SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS OFF TO THE WEST. YEAH, THERE’S A CHANCE WE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW, BUT WE’LL SEE JUST HOW FLEETING THAT WILL BE. AS FOG SETS BACK UP. 5:00 IN THE MORNING. WE HAVE GOT FOG ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE. YOU CAN SEE CLOUDS STILL LINGERING, BUT HERE’S THE BREAKS THAT WE’VE GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THROUGH. AROUND 4 P.M., WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE TO BREAK OUT THEIR SHADES, AND RUN AROUND, RUN AROUND OUTSIDE AND SOME SUNSHINE. BUT EVEN AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY, STARTING OFF WITH MORE FOG, GOT A CHANCE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN OR LIGHT DRIZZLE THAT IS GOING TO HELP TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE SUNSHINE AT BAY. IT IS NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR US FOR SUNSHINE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, SO COULD SEE SOME PEAKS AGAIN TOMORROW. THAT BEST TIME FRAME WOULD BE, I’D SAY MID AFTERNOON TO LATE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING BACK INTO THE UPPER 40S. SO IT IS GOING TO BE MILD FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. YOU LOOK ACROSS THE STATE 43 FOR ALGONA CARROLL AT 47 WE HAVE GOT UPPER 40S TO THE SOUTH AND AGAIN, MORE RAIN CHANCES AS WE HEAD INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK. AREAS THROUGH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE 46 FOR OGDEN PERRY AT 46, NEWTON AT 46. AND TO THE NORTH MIDDLE 40S WITH MORE FOGGY CONDITIONS AND A LITTLE BIT OF A COOL DOWN FOR SOME OF US, 41 DEGREES ON SUNDAY AS WE WORK OUR WAY TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEKEND, THAT EIGHT DAY FORECAST TEMPERATURES COMING DOWN HERE, WE’RE BACK DOWN TO 42 WITH THAT RAIN CHANCE ON MONDAY. IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO HEAD OUT FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE INTO NEW YEAR’S DAY, IT’S NOT LOOKING BAD THOUGH.
