Temperatures on Easter Sunday warmed into the 80s for much of the state. Only extreme northeastern Iowa was left in the 60s with clouds and some rain. For Des Moines, it was one of the warmer Easter Sunday's on record as shown by the featured chart. Only 1987 at 86, 1977 at 85, and 1908 at 84 tied or beat the 84 reported by the Des Moines Airport sensor on Sunday. Keep in mind that Easter falls on a wide range of dates in the spring, so some years are mid April and others are in March! High temperatures this week will be closer to average and back in the 60s.
