State Climatologist Harry Hillaker tells KCII News, this has already been the second wettest December on record in Iowa and temperatures are running much higher than normal. Iowa is also on pace for its second warmest December ever.

The Washington area has already seen more than two inches of precipitation this month and more rain is in the forecast for Sunday afternoon. Next week highs will be in the 40’s for much of the week. Stay tuned to KCII for weather updates.
