Tuesday was yet another very warm day this year with high temperatures reaching the century mark for some in the state. This year continues to be much warmer than any previous year on record for Des Moines. The featured chart looks at the possibilities that this year will end up being the warmest on record. The spaghetti of lines represents the combination of this year's data and all previous year's data from today to the end of the year. With these scenarios, 81% of the previous year's data would provide this year with the warmest year on record. A few weeks ago, this same chart was featured and the percentage was only 64%. The chart would indicate that this year will be the warmest on record at least until Thanksgiving.
