The featured chart presents a meteogram of observations for the Ames Airport on Friday though Sunday. After reaching near 50°F on Friday, temperatures took a dive through the weekend with highs only in the single digits on Sunday. The cold temperatures combined with a strong northerly wind to create dangerous wind chill values, which prompted offices like NWS Des Moines to issue their first Cold Weather Advisory. The good news is that temperatures will warm this week, but only to levels slightly above freezing.
