Eastern Iowa Set to Warm Up with Spring-Style Temperatures

OK, first of all, I am aware that the first day of Spring isn't until Friday, March 20th. We have plenty of time for Winter to rear its ugly head. But with the weather we have headed our way just in time for the Valentine's Day weekend, it's hard not to catch a full-blown case of Spring Fever!

A Warm Holiday Weekend

Our weather partners at KCRG TV-9 get full credit for this February weather! Clouds this morning will give way to sunny skies later this afternoon. The trend continues right through the holiday weekend with even warmer temperatures on the way! KCRG reports that highs this weekend will reach the low to mid 50s.

Even WARMER Temperatures Next Week

Things really heat up on Monday. KCRG reports that the high for President's Day will be in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees! The warm temperatures continue through mid-week with some areas hitting 60 degrees or above!
