The warm temperatures from this past weekend carried over into Monday before a cold front swept the state. The featured chart presents the IEM computed and unofficial hourly temperature records for Des Moines for the inclusive date period of 24 October through 31 December. A number of new records can be seen between 2 and 7 AM. The warm and moist air mass ahead of the cold front has helped to support the ongoing rainfall event with much of the state picking up desperately needed rainfall. While the rainfall will slightly delay the ongoing fall harvest, there are likely very few farmers complaining.
