12:15pm Update: Cold front is east of the Mississippi River with a line of thunderstorms developing right behind the front. While severe weather isn't anticipated any storms that move through may produce a few stronger wind gusts and brief heavy downpours.
Thursday morning started with sunshine but the clouds will quickly roll in by this afternoon as a very strong cold front moves through. The cold front is passing just over the Mississippi River where temperatures ahead of the front have warmed into the 70s but Dubuque, IA has dropped into the low 50s. A few light showers have been occurring along and behind the front with a line of thunderstorms trying to develop south of Cedar Rapids, IA. Expect a few showers, and even a thunderstorm, remain possible this afternoon.
Temperatures by noon will warm near 75 degrees but by 3pm they will have dropped into the 60s with even colder air expected to be in place by 5pm. Winds will remain gusty this afternoon with the southerly wind we have right now switching to a west/northwest wind by dinner. The cold air will remain in place through the weekend with a slight modification in the temperatures early next week.
