It has been an exceptionally cool summer in the Midwest, so I guess that it is only fitting that we end that summer (the meteorological summer ends on Monday after beginning on June 1) with some very cool conditions. Already a fair amount of the central Corn Belt had highs yesterday that failed to climb above the 70 degree mark; some record-low maximum temperature records may have fallen (something that has been a frequent occurrence this summer). That was all due to clouds and persistent rain (heavy amounts over the past 48 hours in eastern Iowa and northern Illinois, and a lot of southeastern Iowa is still under flood warnings this morning); cold weather this weekend and into early next week is going to occur even in areas that get a fair amount of sunshine. It continues to look like we will see high temperatures struggle to get to even the 70 degree mark for tomorrow through Monday, and I would think that most locations in the heart of the Corn Belt will have at least one day (and maybe as much as three) in which highs fail to reach 70.
I still think that parts of Wisconsin and Michigan could have a day or two in which highs do not get out of the 50s. Your coldest mornings will be Sunday through Tuesday, and most likely we are going to see some record lows being shattered. Basically everyone in the Corn Belt will have lows in the 40s on all or a part of that period, but your normally colder locations in northern Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin will see low temperatures drop into the 30s. The record low at Mason City is 40 degrees on Monday morning; I think there is a good chance for that to be tied or broken. The same is true for a 42 degree record for that date at La Crosse, and a 50 degree reading at Kansas City (just to name a few). At its worst, we are looking at temperatures on a given day for this weekend and very early next week averaging more than fifteen degrees below normal. As was the case with yesterday’s maps though, we are still looking at a milder trend to develop by around Wednesday of next week, with particularly wet weather not in the forecast either (certainly something that the folks in southeastern Iowa are glad to hear).
