Day 15 of Des Moines, IA (KDSM)

Last two days of Des Moines are looking much drier than they did earlier, with the storm expected earlier splitting in two, with one piece going to the north and one piece going to the south. However, it will not really be quiet either, with the northern piece bringing a cold front late tomorrow, disrupting the daytime heating a bit but it will still get warm before that with some sunshine and southerly flow through early afternoon. The front will also bring much stronger northwesterly winds and cold advection, possibly leading to a low at the end (Saturday 06z), though mostly cloudy skies and wind will prevent true radiational cooling, unlike the clearer skies and lighter winds leading to better radiational cooling but with a warmer air mass tonight. There could still be a few showers along the front, but rainfall will likely be no more than a tenth of an inch due to the dry low-level air, and it is quite possible that there ends up being no measurable rain at all.
