The most recent Arctic front passage over the weekend brought a dramatic change in temperatures. The featured chart displays the computed largest 24 hour temperature change based on hourly model analyses of near surface air temperature. For Iowa, the largest drop was in the 20 to 50 degree range. Much larger changes happened over the High Plains in the 50 to 70 degree range. This analysis also indicates values approaching 80 degrees over Montana! Thankfully, temperatures are back on the upswing for us with above freezing weather common for the rest of the week.
