On Monday, the Sioux City Airport weather station hit 80 degrees making for the earliest in the year 80+ degree temperature on record! The featured chart displays the first date of 80+ degrees per year and the subsequent number of 80+ degree days for that year. The first date this year tops the previously earliest back in 2012. Some are starting to wonder if March 2016 is going to be a repeat of March 2012, which was one of the most abnormally warm months on record! The near term forecast continues with very warm temperatures well above average for this time of the year.
