Temperatures warmed nicely on Wednesday thanks to a dry atmosphere and plenty of wind helping to mix warmer air. The featured chart compares the combination of 3 PM air temperature departure from long term average at 3 PM and the wind speed reported. The shaded areas represent relative frequency with the darkest shades being the most frequent. A simple fit of the data is provided by the red line and yesterday's value is indicated by the brown dot. The chart illustrates that as temperatures get more extreme in the cold or warm direction, wind speeds increase. Of course, correlation is not causation, but there are interconnected physical processes that drive temperatures and wind.
