Much was made this previous winter about the "polar vortex" and the biblical outbreaks of cold weather it brought the eastern half of the country. Tongue-in-cheek, the vortex appears to be back next week with high temperatures forecasted to struggle in the upper 60s and 70s. The featured chart presents the average high temperature for Des Moines for the 14-19 July period. This should be about the warmest period of the year, but instead will be some 12 degrees below average.

Good = 23
