Iowa men host No. 20 Wisconsin Saturday

Sports

February 16th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

Iowa’s postseason hopes are circling the drain as the Hawkeyes get set to host 20th ranked Wisconsin on Saturday. Iowa is 6-8 in the Big Ten after a loss at Maryland and they have dropped four games to team they are tied with or above in the standings.

The Badgers won the first meeting in Madison by 11 in early January.

Saturday’s game will be the first sellout in a season that has featured dwindling attendance at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

State on pace for all time warmest February

News, Weather

February 16th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – State Climatologist, Justin Glisan, says Iowa is on pace to have the warmest February on record. “It’s the warmest February to the 16th on record with 152 years of records we’re about 17 degrees above average,” Glisan says. He says the colder temperatures today (Friday) and tomorrow will have some impact, but temperatures are going to warm back up. Glisan says we have two weeks to go before the end of the climatological winter, which he says has been drier than normal.

“Coming off of the third snowiest January on record we’ve really been dry, only three one hundredths of an inch reported statewide as an average so far,” he says. Glisan doesn’t see a lot of change through the end of the month. “This is a function of the strong El Nino that we have set up in the eastern Pacific. warmer ocean waters fire more thunderstorms. Those thunderstorms impact where the jet streams set up over the United States,” Glisan says. So the polar jet is further north. subtropical jet states flatter towards the south metro. We see a lot of precipitation along the Gulf states, and we’re stuck in between so warmer weather and a less active storm track.”

Glisan said early indications is that the warm weather will continue into the first few weeks of March. March 1st begins the three month climatological spring for the northern hemisphere.
