After a mild start this morning, temperatures are expected to warm nicely today to above average levels. The featured chart looks at the distribution of reported daily high and low temperatures for all long term sites in Iowa for the 7th of October. The solid line is the actual frequency with the dashed line representing a normal distribution approximately fitting the data. The high temperature distribution has a slight skew to the warm side of average as sunshine tends to help push to slightly warmer days than what we see with clouds and yet a warm soil.
