It certainly felt a bit like summer on Monday with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s along with very muggy for April humidity levels. The featured chart presents the hourly maximum reported dew point temperatures for Ames during April. Observations on Monday were not too far from these maximums shown and even tied a maximum of 64°F at 10 PM. The heat and humidity helped to fire late afternoon thunderstorms over northern Iowa. We'll have more of the same through out this week before cooler and less humid weather arrives for the upcoming weekend.
