Temperatures soared well into the 90s on Thursday making for the warmest first of September for Des Moines since the 1980s. The featured chart presents the year one needs to go back to for a high temperature that was as warm as the one reported this year. The cool periods stand out as most of the bars only go back to 2010. Speaking of cooler air, it is working into the state this morning and highs early next week will only be around 70!
