Small Uptick in Dew Point
Posted: 24 Jul 2018 05:34 AM
The very pleasant mid summer weather continued in Iowa on Monday, but while high
temperatures were again in the lower 80s, there was a small and discernible uptick in dew
point temperature. The featured chart displays a meteogram from the Ames Airport
showing various weather observations over the past three days. Of note here is the green
line within the top panel showing the small increase in dew point yesterday from the lower
60s to mid 60s. Some drier air is attempting to work into the state, but peak transpiration
crops will work to moisten the lower layer of the atmosphere back up.
