Area residents are bracing for much colder weather, rain, and possibly snow, coming soon. Meteorologist Brooke Hagenhoff, at the National Weather Service, says temperatures may start off in the 50s and 60s on Friday morning, but they’re expected to fall throughout the day as showers and thunderstorms move across the state.
While many residents have been enjoying outdoor activities in this week’s unseasonable November warmth, the rainfall will be welcome in helping to recharge soil moisture levels.
The driest months of the year for northern Iowa are just ahead, December, January and February.
