Big Temperature Crashes

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:36 AM

Temperatures are expected to warm nicely on Thursday and again on Friday before crashing into the weekend. The featured chart presents 24 hour temperature traces in between a day to day high temperature change of at least 30 degrees. The zero hour in this chart is after the peak temperature occurred for the first day. These events are almost always associated with cold front passage. The average fit line shows how quickly these events tend to occur with the temperature dropping 30 degrees within the first 8 hours. It remains to be seen if the high temperature on Saturday will be 30 degrees cooler than Friday.

Voting:
Good = 32
Bad = 8
