It is always a good time to check in on climatology for this date. Many locations in Iowa have exceeded 80 degrees with lows nearing 60. A low temperature around 60 infers that dew points are near 60 as well, since the low temperature often falls to the dew point in the summertime. Those dew point values are the start of the uncomfortable season of summer! Temperatures and dew points will be on the rise with the approach of a major storm system expected to bring widespread severe weather for the upper midwest.
