It was a beautiful day across Iowa today with highs reaching the 60s and 70s across the state today. It gave a lot of us to get outside and just enjoy the nice weather. Most of the snow has melted with the exception of being a few patches here and there. It was windy for most of the day, but it was hard to notice with the nice temperatures. Personally, it gave me a chance to let the animals outside and do some prep work in the garden. My cat enjoyed being outside for the first time this year and the dog enjoyed the warm weather.

Monday will be a virtual replica of today with highs in the 60s and 70s. It will be windy again but it should not be noticeable with how nice it is. Thunderstorms will be possible in the evening with some strong cells possible. More information on that later tonight.
