The high temperature for Des Moines reached 80 degrees for the last day of April and made for the fourth day of the month with such a warm high temperature. The featured chart presents the number of such days each April for the airport. The average total is just two days, but there have been other recent years with higher totals than this year. The warmth and increased humidity are helping to fuel storms that are putting a dent into the ongoing drought. More storms are in the forecast into the weekend.
