The featured plot is of daily high temperature percentiles from Ames based on data for the past 100 years. The plot provides a colorful look at the climatology of Ames. The black line is the 32°F contour. For February, this contour rapidly decreases, which implies that our chance for having a high temperature above freezing is rapidly increasing. The forecast calls for temperatures above freezing for most of the state and even thunder showers expected next week.
