After a very nice stretch of mid-fall weather, our weather looks to turn cooler. Temperatures on Tuesday will be a trap for those expecting to see a repeat of the recent past of warm temperatures. The featured chart looks at the maximum increases and decreases from a period of the five days of high temperatures. For example, the past five days for Ames had a high temperature at least above 69 degrees. If the high temperature on Tuesday is 54 degrees, this would be considered a negative 15 degree jump down for this plot. The chart shows that the expected change today is still much smaller than the most extreme on record. The high today would have to be about 39 degrees to match the shown extreme.
