Ending up where we started

The featured chart presents a time series of trailing 14 day departures
of temperature and precipitation for Iowa. The line connects this
metric computed every seven days and the points are labelled for the
end of the 14 day period. The start of the line is on the first of
April and the line ends with today. The chart shows that our past two
weeks closely resemble the two weeks ending on 1 April with cool and
dry weather. These types of plots often create loops when the
variables are correlated. Our next period of weather looks to continue
the dry weather, but closer to average temperatures are expected.
