The climatologically warmest week of the year looks not to disappoint this week with Des Moines reaching 91 on Monday and forecast to hit 90 plus through Saturday. The featured chart presents the frequency of a given day of the year having the next five days (inclusive six days) with a high temperature of at least 90 degrees. Sure enough, the peak frequency is about this time of year. Typically these streaks are hard to maintain as summer time thunderstorm activity tends to knock down temperatures for one of the days with cloud cover or actual rainfall, so it remains to be seen if we can make it through Saturday as there are chances of rain in the forecast for this period.
