The first five days of November were very warm and finished in a close second for warmest such period on record for Des Moines as shown by the featured chart. Only 2008 was warmer and it was also the only other year to average above 60 degrees! Much cooler weather has arrived for the weekend and highs early next week mainly in the 50s.
