(Radio Iowa) – The Farmer’s Almanac is out with its fall weather conditions prediction. Spokesperson Sandi Duncan says you can expect a wet cold end to the season.  “Fall may seem a little short this year. It’s going to start out quite nice with some warm temperatures and and not too wet, but then it’s going to turn cold and rainy, so it’s kind of going to be a a nice start to a cold, rainy finish,” Duncan says. Duncan says the early months of fall should be okay. “Looks like the end of September is going to have some thunderstorms in your neck of the woods, but it’s not going to be too bad in October,” she says.” It looks like it’s going to cool right down, but as we mentioned towards the end of the month of October and November, we’re talking about some unsettled conditions with a lot more rain, which is good and bad.”

Duncan says they are predicting a cool slide into winter. “Thanksgiving looks decent. There might be some light. Snow flurry is coming through, but overall it looks like a a decent Thanksgiving weather forecast,” Duncan says. “At the end of the month it does look like it’s going to turn stormy, and then a sneak peek into December before winter, it does look like some very cold possible snowy conditions could come through your area to remind you what’s in store right around the corner.”

Autumn in Iowa arrives September 22 . The Maine-based publication will release the winter 2025-26 forecast next week.
