Enjoy an early taste of summer

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - As we approach the middle of April, it doesn’t get much better than this. Highs today made it into the 70s and 80s across the state. This will also be the case on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Look for a clear to partly cloudy sky to remain in place as well.

A breezy southwest wind is expected to top 30 mph over the next couple of days helping to sustain the early summer warmth. Rainfall chances are expected but not until Saturday with cooler, more seasonable, weather ahead next week.
