The Ides of March are upon us, so it is a good time to review what has transpired for the first two weeks. The featured chart displays the average temperature for the period for each year on record for Des Moines. This year's average temperature is not far from the warmest set back in 1973. A round of thunderstorms visiting the state this morning will begin a period of cooler temperatures with highs not as far from average.
