Plenty of 50s

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 05:48 AM

This past Sunday was the fifth day this January that the high temperature has hit or exceeded 50 degrees for Ames. This feat is rather remarkable considering that we did not surpass 50 in each of the past five years and this total prior to 17 January ties the previous most back in 1928. Will this year end up like 1928 and not have any days over 50 for the rest of the month? The forecast does have a slim chance of hitting 50 again next Sunday after a series of winter storms this week.

Good = 26
