Des Moines, IA – Low clouds, patchy fog, and drizzle are set to dominate the Midwest’s weather through Christmas and into the weekend. The National Weather Service warns of reduced visibility tonight, particularly in western Iowa, as low-level moisture spreads across the region.
Temperatures will steadily rise, with highs on Christmas Day reaching the mid-30s to near 40. By Friday, temperatures could climb into the mid-40s to lower 50s. Patchy drizzle is expected to develop later on Christmas and persist through Thursday, bringing light but steady dampness to the region.
Intermittent rain is forecast for Friday and Friday night before tapering off on Saturday. Travelers are urged to exercise caution during the foggy conditions and stay updated on potential changes in visibility.
