Highs after snowfall

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 12:18 PM

High temperatures are struggling so far today thanks to our recent snowfall and being on the cold side of a departing area of surface high pressure. The featured chart presents the high temperature for a day after snowfall as recorded from the long term stations near Ames. The favored temperature is clearly around or just below freezing, which makes sense with all the newly deposited snow around. The greater the snowfall, the more likely the next day temperature will be below freezing, which makes sense as well. Much warmer air is set to arrive tomorrow and rid us of most of this new snow.
