Little December Movement

Posted: 12 Dec 2022 05:23 AM

Temperatures have been a struggle over the past number of days for much of Iowa thanks to persistent clouds and fog not allowing much movement in temperature. A case in point is Iowa Falls, whose past three days have seen at most a three degree difference between the daily high and low temperature. The featured chart presents the top ten smallest daily temperature changes for December and each of the past three days is listed! The spark lines shown on the right hand side present the available hourly temperature reports for a +/- 12 hour period around each day (denoted by the tan vertical lines). We should see some more movement in temperature today as a big storm system approaches from the west and winds increase in response.
