Late last week and into the weekend experienced some very cold temperatures for mid May with the featured map display reports of sub freezing temperatures. The red crosses are reports below 29 degrees Fahrenheit and the blue squares are reports between 29 and 32 degrees. Temperatures can vary dramatically even with modest terrain differences, so many low laying areas in Iowa probably had frost on them at some point. Warmer weather this week and warm over night temperatures will help warm the soils back up and help crop development.
