Thanks for a strong low pressure center to our north pulling warm and humid air into the state on Sunday, temperatures climbed well into the 80s and even topped out at 90 in Des Moines. The featured chart presents the first day of each year that the temperature hit 90 or above. This year tied for second earliest behind 1986. The average first day is not until the first week of June! The bar colors represent if the year was earlier (red) or later (blue) than average. Temperatures today will struggle to reach 60 with cooler weather expected for the rest of the week.
