It is remarkable to see all three state of Iowa universities closing this evening until Thursday noon due to dangerous wind chills. The featured chart depicts the forecast combination of air temperature, wind chill and wind speed for Ames. This chart bottoms out the wind chill temperature near negative 50 degrees and shows a high temperature of just -10 on Wednesday! Amazingly after this stretch of cold, much warmer weather is expected with the air temperature around 90 degrees warmer than the minimum wind chill plotted on this chart (-50 to 40).
