Backing Off Humidity

Posted:

Humidity levels have felt a bit nicer to start off this week as the very muggy conditions last week have backed off some. The featured chart presents IEM computed daily max and min dew point temperatures along with a crude and smoothed period of record climatology for Estherville (NW Iowa). The climatology doesn't show much for a downward trend as the month of August progresses as more fall like weather (read lower dew points) typically waits till the second week of September or so to start showing up. A couple of days last week are shown having low dew point values near an average high value. Unfortunately, heat and humidity are building back into the state with a hot and muggy weekend forecast with air temperatures into the 90s and dew points in the upper 70s.
