Temperatures on Sunday morning dropped below freezing for much of the state. On the other hand, soil temperatures remain quite warm with the average temperature at 4 inch depth around 60 degrees. The sun has worked very hard all summer long to warm the soils and unlike the air, it takes a bit longer to lose that heat to the fall season. These warm soils help to create very pleasant fall days when the sun shines as will be the case this week. The sun has a head start warming the top soil in the morning and can quickly warm the dry fall air near the surface. A southerly breeze will also help the process out with highs near 80 on Tuesday.
