Northeast was a lot warmer
Posted: 17 May 2016 05:34 AM
The temperature pattern over the state on Monday was inverted from what one may expect
to see with the warmest temperatures in northeastern Iowa and the coldest temperatures in
southwestern Iowa. This was thanks to a cloud shield and rain impacting southwestern
Iowa and other parts of the state able to see some sunshine. While the high temperature
for Decorah (NE Iowa) was 68, the high for Shenandoah (SE Iowa) was 55. The featured
chart presents the daily frequencies of having the high at Decorah 10+ degrees warmer
than Shenandoah. This situation is somewhat rare with an overall frequency around 1%,
which would equate to about 3 days per year. April and May are certainly the favored
months for this to happen.
