A calm day for late March

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 05:51 AM

Yesterday was a remarkably calm day for late March with the peak wind speed reported at the Des Moines Airport (based on the hourly obs) of a mere 8 mph. The featured chart presents the maximum reported wind speed for each March 30th going back to the late 1940s. This year's value is the lowest to be found on the chart. March will end with another mostly calm day with a chance of rain. Blustery weather arrives on Saturday!
