A post-frontal cold air mass will increase the likelihood of the season's first frost this weekend. Northern Iowa carries the highest probability, with decreasing chances extending southward.

Today marks the final day of the widespread unseasonably warm weather pattern in Central Iowa, with afternoon high temperatures forecast to reach the mid-80s to low 90s. A gradual transition to more seasonal conditions is expected to occur through the work week, especially by Friday where the highs will only reach into the 50s.

10/10/2026

Above average temperatures through the 80s, paired with gusty winds, dry conditions and cured cropland will result in elevated fire weather conditions today, especially over western and northern Iowa. Extra caution should be taken when operating farm equipment, as any fire starts in these conditions can quickly spread and become uncontrollable. Stay safe out there!
