It's true, a bona-fide cold front is finally letting some cooler air loose from Canada and that will be in Iowa by Wednesday! Animal activity often picks up before a front, and this cold front will be cruising through central Iowa by 5pm. That's pretty bad timing for hunting a consistent wind but at this point it looks like the wind direction will only change 30 to 45 degrees, from the WNW to the NNW around 5pm. Even Tuesday morning, winds will be tricky. Thermal wind currents, like the illustration to the right, will be the biggest factor until about 8 or 9am when a light westerly wind takes over. It will be warm before this storm, and that might even be enough for a few hit or miss T-showers right along the front Tuesday evening. Odds are in your favor for staying dry, but if you see storm clouds to the west around 4-5pm, it might be a good idea to get out of the stand and brace for 15-20 minutes of rain. This evening's activity will be good with the front moving through, it would be better if there were more clouds and cooler temps though. That really cool weather is only a week or so out, long-range models are hinting at big changes by the end of October! Deercast for Tuesday:
Sky: Rise; Mainly clear Noon; Mainly Clear Set; Partly Cloudy
Temp: Rise; 50-55 Noon; 70-73 Set; 69-72
Wind: Rise; SW to W 2-5 Noon; WNW 5-10 Set; NNW 10-15
