Upcoming Roller-coaster

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 05:33 AM

The featured chart is lifted from the venerable BUFKIT Warehouse website. It shows the combination of recent temperature observations from the Des Moines Airport along with a number of model forecast time series out the next seven days. The timestamps shown on the x-axis are in UTC / GMT time, so it is a value six hours ahead of our current CST timezone. The nice temperatures on Tuesday represent the high point in the roller-coaster ride with high temperatures this coming Monday shown to be barely above freezing! The website linked contains these graphics and more information if you are interested in forecasting the weather!
