A Warm-up For Early November

Latest Drought Monitor

Patchy fog is expected to develop late tonight into Sunday morning that may be locally dense. Otherwise a warm-up to above normal temperatures is expected through the first half of next week.

Latest drought monitor released Thursday 10/30 shows that Moderate (D1) Drought has expanded across portions of far eastern Iowa, while Severe (D2) Drought has expanded some across northwest Illinois. While there will be a few rain chances through the weekend and into early next week, rainfall amounts will be light and likely not improving the ongoing drought conditions.
