Absence of clouds and humidity

Posted: 26 Aug 2008 06:40 AM

The featured chart of recent air and dew point temperatures from Des Moines nicely tells our weather story for the past few days. The lack of humidity and clouds creates a nice contrast between cool lows and mild highs. The smooth air temperature curve shows the rapid warming during the morning hours and then rapid cooling overnight when no clouds are present.
