I’m not trying to sound like a broken record, but we did have broken records yet again today.  After a record 58 degrees yesterday, today we hit 68 in Sioux City breaking the old record of 61 set in 1956.  And we certainly weren’t the only location hitting record highs.

You don’t get this kind of warmth if you have snow cover, and we certainly don’t have that.  In fact, moisture in general has been hard to come by as of late.  Here are a few of the statistics showing how dry we’ve been as of late.

We still don’t have much of a chance of seeing any precipitation in our 7-day forecast.  Temperatures are still expected to stay well above average until the middle of next week when some colder air may finally move in.  So whether you like it or not, get out and enjoy this mild streak while we have it because there’s still plenty of time for winter to set in for Siouxland.
