MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — Library trustees have rejected a proposal to let a genealogy group keep its material at the Mason City Public Library. The trustees voted Tuesday against letting the North Central Iowa Genealogical Society’s more than 5,000 items remain at the library. The trustees also voted to give the society until Oct. 31 to vacate its space. The deadline had been Sept. 30. Discussion on a compromise is expected to continue between the society board and trustees.
The society has been housed in the library since 1979. A letter to the society from library director Mary Markwalter cited “changing space utilization needs of the library” in asking the society to leave.

(Radio Iowa) — This is the last week of summer and forecasters at the National Climate Center are raising the odds of an El Nino weather pattern impacting our region soon. Meteorologist Dennis Todey, director of the U-S-D-A’s Midwest Climate Hub in Ames, says we may see a shift within a few months. “We get into El Nino conditions maybe by late fall but probably by mid-winter,” Todey says. “The probability is around 65 to 70% chance right now.”
Forecasting models indicate a weak El Nino is most likely, Todey says, but that’s just at the moment. “This one will probably not be a particularly strong one,” he says, “so, therefore, what we expect out of this, we can’t assume as much out of it this time. Typically, we talk about El Nino winters as higher likelihood of being warmer than average throughout most of the Northern Plains, the northern Midwest. That’s still the thinking.”
Todey says it’s a safer bet the impacts of the weather pattern will be felt more next year than this fall. “The other thing, when we have El Ninos, we expect a better chance of precipitation as you get into springtime,” Todey says. “The indications for fall aren’t as strong and we’re really not being impacted by El Nino right now, so, we can’t say too much about the fall as being too much different from average right now.”
Forecasts for the last three months of the year show near-normal temperatures and precipitation are likely for the region.
