Dense fog warnings are again in effect for much of the state this morning. Visibility will be near zero in some locations, particularly in central Iowa, including the metropolitan area. Take a little extra time on the roads this morning and slow down if you encounter thick fog. Luckily the fog shouldn’t last as long as it did yesterday. We should see the fog clearing from west to east around 7-8am and the subway fog clearing around 8-9am. In northern and eastern Iowa, fog may linger until 10 a.m., but a strong southerly breeze will help the fog clear much more quickly compared to yesterday. Once the fog clears, the sun will return to most of the state. Interactive Radar | Weather warnings: The sun and a southerly breeze at 24 to 40 km/h will ensure that temperatures rise relatively quickly to over 40 °C. High temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 40s around the metropolitan area, with some areas in southern and southwest Iowa expected to reach near the 50s. North and northeast Iowa, where fog will continue for a few more hours, will likely see low 40s this afternoon. This evening the sky will initially be clear, so that night temperatures can drop back to the mid 20s. Tuesday will be a little cooler as west to northwest winds bring another round of colder weather. Highs on Tuesday are still expected to reach 40 in the metro area, but will be near 30 across most of northern Iowa. The colder weather could bring some light snow flurries, but no accumulation is expected for most of the state. A light dusting is possible in far northern Iowa, near the Minnesota border. Wednesday will be cool, with highs in the low to medium range. Breezy southwesterly winds return on Thursday, briefly raising maximum temperatures to 40° degrees. More cold weather will end the week with highs in the 20s on Friday and Saturday before another warming trend begins next week. Forecast for Des Moines: Today: Dense fog through the morning, becoming sunny this afternoon. High 47F. Winds W at 15 to 25 mph. Stronger gusts of wind possible. Tonight: Clear to partly cloudy.
