Anybody that based their Monday evening attire on the early afternoon temperature were made of fool of as a very strong cold front swept the state dropping the temperature by 40- 50 degrees. The featured chart presents the temperature time series on Monday for seven locations over Iowa. The temperature changes shown are remarkable. Tornadoes were even reported in southwestern Minnesota before the front passed and snow fell later in the evening. Highs today will make it back into the 40s and it appears we'll be stuck in that range for rest of the week.
