Don't be surprised if you start seeing more of our fast, feathered friends — hummingbirds. The ruby-throated hummingbird spring migration recently reached Iowa, with sightings reported across the southern half of the state and as far north as Osage, according to Hummingbird Central. Per the website, the hummingbirds can travel over 500 miles a day when crossing the Gulf of Mexico. Once over land, they typically can travel up to around 23 miles a day.

BUYERS MARKET AND WE ARE GEARING UP FOR SOME WINTRY WEATHER COMING OUR WAY. AND TODAY IS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL. BUT IT’S KIND OF WEDNESDAY WHERE WE SEE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW COMING BACK. YEAH, BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE OUR TIME FRAME FOR SOME OF THAT SNOW. UNTIL THEN, NO BIG ISSUES HERE TODAY. TODAY, PROBABLY ONE OF THE NICER DAYS OF THE WORKWEEK. ALREADY NEARING 60 DEGREES HERE ACROSS THE STATE. WINDS WILL START TO PICK UP THOUGH, AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

We will remain under high pressure today through Friday before our next weather system gets here Friday evening. Interactive Radar | Weather Alerts Daytime hours will be dry on Friday, but at the earliest we could see some rain by Friday night. Most of the light rain chances will be here for Saturday. Totals range from a tenth of an inch to maybe a third of an inch. Not expecting a big rain maker out of this one. Nonetheless, the rain will be welcomed. Temperatures will be in the mid 50s this weekend.
