First and Last 70

Posted: 11 Nov 2016 05:37 AM

Thursday was yet another warm fall day in the state with some places, like Des Moines, reaching 70 degrees. The featured chart displays the period each year between the first and last 70+ degree high temperature. Reaching this warm of a temperature in November is not necessarily uncommon and the average last date is about 11 days earlier on 30 October. We shall see if this was our last 70 degree temperature of the year as the near term forecast has highs much closer to average for this time of the year, back in the 50s.
