Our winds are again out of the east this morning with an approaching storm system to our west. These winds are not as warm as those from our southwest. The featured chart presents the number of unique hours during which a wind observation of at least 5 knots was reported by the Des Moines ASOS since the first of April. Since 1973, this calculation would indicate that this year has seen the fewest number of hours.
