 +----------------------------------------------

An experimental feed of iembot messages per Weather Service 
forecast office is now available as a RSS feed.  While RSS is not
the most efficient ways of doing this, it is the easiest and may
be the most useful.  Each forecast office has their own feed of
products that iembot alerts for.

I would be curious to see how folks use this service and would
be happy to make improvements if possible.

 | Title : Recovery is more likely

 +----------------------------------------------

After a cold start on Wednesday, temperatures warmed 30+ degrees to comfortable afternoon values.  The featured plot graphs the daily average temperature range, which can be thought of as the amount of warming that occurs.  You can see that September and October experience the largest temperature swings, so cold mornings are more often recovered into nice afternoons. The reason for this is the decreasing humidity levels allowing more efficient warming and ground temperatures which are still very warm.
