The week after a high of 80

Posted: 07 May 2010 05:34 AM

It was just on Tuesday that high temperatures soared into the 80s here in Ames. The featured chart looks at the observed frequencies of high temperatures above 80 and below 60 after a day with a high above 80. The climatological occurrence of having a sub 60 and above 80 day in May is shown as well (flat lines). With forecasted highs on Friday and Saturday in the 50s (day 3 and day 4), the chart would indicate this is rather rare. Our average highs are in the upper 60s, so we will be well below normal with some locations struggling to even reach 50 on Saturday.

Voting:
Good = 67
Bad = 14
