Awaiting First 60

Posted: 19 Mar 2019 05:32 AM

Having the early part of the winter season be not all that bad is a forgotten memory against the past month or so of full scale winter. The weather has straightened out now and is starting to feel more like spring time. Much of the state though is still awaiting the first 60+ degree temperature of the year. For Ames, the featured chart presents the period between the first spring date and last fall date each year with the high temperature of at least 60 degrees. The simple average is shown as well and indicates we are a few weeks behind schedule. The forecast for the upcoming weekend has optimism that Ames will finally reach 60 degrees.
