Near Record Warmth... Again

Wow, that cold air didn't last at all. Downslope warming behind this storm system will bring us even more mild, mountain air with a northwesterly wind for Wednesday.

We’ve seen a pretty unconventional weather for hunting season this fall with an early snow in November and near record breaking warmth in December and plenty of extremes in-between. The Des Moines National Weather Service and state Climatologist Harry Hillaker detail more of 2011’s crazy weather here. We’ll keep this wild but warm pattern going -even placing more records in jeopardy in central Iowa for January 5th like the record of 59 set in 1956 for Des Moines on Thursday. While 50s and 60s in January aren’t unheard of, it still has been a pretty wild weather year. Keep track of central Iowa's Most Accurate Forecast on myabc5.com

Tomorrow I'll blog about how to read the sky. Find out what some of our clouds mean and how they can help make your hunt a happy ending.
