Your midday Iowa weather update A Special Weather Statement is in effect across Iowa today as near-record warmth combines with gusty winds and low humidity to create elevated fire danger through early evening. This Monday starts mild with temperatures already in the 60s, but we're heading for a remarkable 86 degrees by 4 P.M. That warmth won't last though - temperatures will actually drop back to 64 by noon tomorrow as a cold front sweeps through.
