It seems like we have been stuck with cloudy days for a while now. The featured image attempts to illustrate this by taking a sample of the Ames webcamera imagery at noon each day since the first of August. Clear skies stick out nicely as compared with dreary gray images. The forecast has some hope for seeing some sun this weekend with mild temperataures in the 50s.
