A few record high temperatures will likely fall across the western portion of Iowa today. With the windy and dry conditions the fire danger will be elevated across the state.

The front will usher in cooler weather and very windy conditions with highs in the upper 60’s to lower 70’s across the state. Winds will gust up to 40MPH across the northern portions of Iowa. Elevated fire conditions will continue for Monday so hold off on any open burning until later in the week.
