Let’s warm up today and head into a new week.

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – Saturday’s high temperature (61°) made it one of the coldest days of the month. We’ll start to warm up on Sunday and that trend will continue into the new week.

SUNDAY

Although Sunday will be a little warmer than Saturday, it will still be a pleasant afternoon. Temperatures will reach the 70s with south wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph. There will be plenty of sunshine for the first half of the day, but clouds will clear in the afternoon.

SUNDAY EVENING

Clouds and southerly winds will keep temperatures mild overnight. The low will bottom out around 50°.

MONDAY

The warming trend will continue into the new week. Highs will range from the low to mid 70s under mostly cloudy skies. The wind will still be from the south, gusting up to 35 meters per second.

REST OF THE WEEK

Tuesday will be the warmest day of the coming week. High temperatures can peak around 80°. Tuesday’s record high temperature was 82 degrees, compared to 1937, so we may be approaching record territory.

A cold front will move in Tuesday night and bring us our next chance for rain. Showers will begin after midnight and may continue into Wednesday. As we get closer to this rain and the details become clearer, we will have a clearer idea of how much rain is possible.

Temperatures behind the front will drop to more seasonal levels, but still above average. Expect highs in the 50s to 60s for the rest of the week. Halloween is looking dry and nice by late October standards!
