 | Title : 20 degrees in 50 miles
 | Date  : 21 May 07:05 AM
 | Votes : Good: 22   Bad: 5
 +----------------------------------------------

A front staled out over Northeast Iowa on Sunday seperating distinct air masses for most of the day.  The featured chart is a temperature comparison between Oelwien and Decorah, who are only seperated by 50 miles.  Places further to the east even struggled to get out of the 40s, while most of Iowa was in the lower 80s.  This boundary will lift further north today allowing places like Decorah to enjoy the 80s as well.
