It was a record setting day in Iowa on Monday with the following first-order NWS climate sites either tying or setting new February high temperature records.

• Cedar Rapids 76 (ties 2017)
• Des Moines 78 (ties 1930)
• Dubuque 72 (beats 71 in 2017)
• Mason City 73 (beats 66 in 1981)
• Sioux City 77 (beats 75 in 1896)
• Waterloo 78 (beats 71 in 1921)

Having Waterloo and Mason City best their previous February records by seven degrees each is very remarkable! The featured chart presents the current monthly high temperature records for Dubuque. Temperatures will again be quite warm on Tuesday, but take a very abrupt downturn in the afternoon.
