February Clouds + Vis

Posted: 01 Mar 2021 05:34 AM

With the start of a new month, it is always a good time to look back on the previous month and the featured chart does just that presenting cloud level and amount information along with visibility for Des Moines. The top panel presents the hourly reports of cloud level and amount with blue regions meant to represent clear skies and dark regions being overcast clouds. The small bottom panels shows near surface horizontal visibility reports. The chart shows a mix of gloomy days and clear days with not much in the way of persistence over any number of days. The forecast for this week looks good with sunshine and warmer temperatures expected by later in the week.
