Highs and Lows for March

Posted: 10 Mar 2017 05:31 AM

Temperatures on Thursday were about what we would expect for March with highs generally in the 40s and lows in the 20s. The featured chart presents a histogram of high vs low temperature for Ames during March. The combination with the highest observed frequency is indicated on the chart. It is interesting to note the clustering of lows just below freezing. It is difficult for temperatures to keep above freezing during the night time as ground temperatures have yet to warm up and the air is generally dry allowing for good radiational cooling
