High temperatures on Monday were an awesome relief from the bitter cold to start off the new year. Highs were well above freezing and even into the 40s for parts of Iowa. This is doing very well for January as average highs for the month are generally below freezing for the state as shown by the featured map depicting an analysis of NCEI climatology for the month. We'll have two more very nice days before winter returns in full force on Wednesday into Thursday.
