Our remarkable stretch of warm weather continues to set interesting records. The featured chart shows the daily high and low temperature departure from average for Des Moines since the first of March. The past 26 days have seen a high temperature ten or more degrees above average. This is easily the longest streak on record for the site and bests the previous longest streak of 17 days back in Jan-Feb of 1931. Much cooler overnight low temperatures are set to arrive this evening with chances of sub freezing temperatures over the northeastern half of the state.
