Tuesday was a another wild day of weather in the state with tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and a very strong temperature gradient over the state. The featured chart looks into this gradient by plotting the maximum difference in air temperature by state by hour based on available airport weather station data. Four states along the warm front are highlighted with the maximum hourly value shown in the chart legend. Iowa's 50 degree difference was beat both in Kansas at 59 and an amazing 73 degrees in Nebraska. So your location made a big difference if yesterday felt like summer or it felt like crummy early spring weather. The good news for warm weather lovers is that the forecast continues to be bullish for a significant stretch of warmer weather starting later this week and into next week and beyond.
