Very mild air returned again to much of Iowa on Thursday with record highs for Des Moines and Lamoni. The 76 degrees for Des Moines was just a few days shy of the latest in the year 76 degree reading on record. The featured chart presents the latest dates for a given high temperature for Des Moines. The chances of seeing 70 degrees again this year are very small, but the first major blow of the winter season will miss us to the north and west. While we won't see the snow, the cold and wind will be making a visit!
