 | Title : Nose dive
 | Date  : 17 Sep 07:14 AM
 | Votes : Good: 14   Bad: 0
 +----------------------------------------------

4 inch soil temperatures (blue line) have taken a nose dive in the past week droppig from the 80s into the 50s. This was due to some very cold air that settled south from Canada and brought us record low temperatures on Saturday morning. Temperatures will rebound this week with a return to summer with muggy highs in the 80s and thunderstorm chances until it clears out for the weekend.
