We're going to be thawing out starting this weekend as warmer air moves back in{/em}

TONIGHT
{/strong}With southerly winds and some clouds in place overnight we will remain mild with lows falling into the mid 20s.

TOMORROW
{/strong}Because of the warm air from Saturday a good part of the snowpack receded from Highway 34 up to I80 and further North in some places. The main focus of this is areas that still have snow will act as a bit of a wall to the warmer air, but highs at least in the mid 30s look likely if not near 40, especially south of Highway 20. The melting snow may lead to fog and cloud issues this weekend, especially Sunday, as well as complicating just how mild temperatures will climb.

Sunday night and into Monday morning fog will very likely be more of an issue for us.

EARLY NEXT WEEK{/strong}
The pattern remains mild for this time of year heading into the first full week of February. Confidence is increasing temperatures may climb into the mid-40s by Monday. Late Monday night into Tuesday an approaching cold front may lead to rain showers in the area before highs fall a bit into the upper 30s/near 40 Tuesday.

Another storm system is looking likely Wednesday into Thursday bringing another likelihood of rain to eastern Iowa. With colder temperatures confined to the west/northwest, we should escape the snow threat with system.

Temperatures will continue to run near 10+ above normal through the week.
