Recently, the clouds have been difficult to get rid of. For Des Moines, it has been mostly cloudy for the past 12 days or so. To pick an arbitrary comparison point with the long term archive of cloud coverage at Des Moines, the featured chart presents the longest streaks of having the 10 AM CDT observation indicate overcast. The current streak of 12 days is the longest since 2010 and only a few days shorter than the longest back in late 1979 and into 1980. When will our current streak end? At the moment, it would appear Thursday would have the earliest chance with a more likely chance on Friday. Needless to say, there will be plenty of happy folks to see full sunshine when it returns!
