Feature
2008 data for Ames is preliminary

The featured table is an attempt to illustrate how we have not seen many warm days so far this year. The left hand side is a simple count of the number of days with a high temperature 10+ degrees above normal. The right hand side is the maximum difference of the actual high temperature against the normal for the day. The forecast calls for warmer weather, but only in the mid 70s, which is about normal.
