Today was  a toasty and windy day across Iowa as strong southwesterly winds brought the highs into the lower to middle 90s. Heat index values were over 100.F. The warmth was thanks to a low pressure system to our north causing the warm air to surge in on winds that gusting to 30MPH at times. This  warm up was in front of a much cooler airmass that is about to come down. So this could very well be one of our last real warm days of the summer season. Today tied for the warmest day of 2014 at many locations including Des Moines international with a high of 93.F. My station also tied 95.F again.
