Last sub zero temps

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 05:45 AM

A very cold air mass, fresh snow pack, and clear skies are helping temperatures to plummet this Tuesday morning. Lows this morning are below zero Fahrenheit for the entire state with some locations pushing values below negative 20! The featured chart presents the period for Des Moines since the last temperature as cold as the given threshold. This morning's lows would be the coldest since the first week of January back in 2010. The good news is that warmer air is expected for the rest of this week with highs even approaching 30 degrees!
