Our brief bout with colder temperatures is being replaced by an extended stretch of above average temperatures with low temperatures for this upcoming weekend forecast in the low 40s for some parts of the state! The featured chart looks into the number of hours spent at or above 40 degrees during December for Des Moines. This year's total is already well above a simple long term average and it appears the upcoming accumulation will push us dangerously close to the maximum shown on the plot during 2006. The hope for any white ground covering in time for Christmas seems very slim at the moment.
