Can anybody reconcile these two images? How can they say the low range will be 24-30F when the hourly doesn't drop below 32F? The same question for wind speed...

Don't forget economist and politician!

 I love doing all that container hauling and covering for no reason! It was colder 2 nights ago.

When I moved from the midwest to the east coast I noticed that weather prediction went from being a crapshoot to being pretty much correct most of the time.  Weather in the middle of the country changes so quickly.

I don't mind them being wrong. There are several models they have to choose from. I don't understand how the daily overview and the hourly details from the same source can disagree with each other. Anyway, I left the trees out. They seem to be fine.

Sorry can't help you I am from Canada and we use Celsius here..LOL

My guess is that 24-30F was a forecast for that evening and next day.  The hourly report are actual temperatures measured.

Lows are usually around 7:30 AM here. Maybe you're looking at the wrong timeframe. The temps are still dropping in that screenshot.

Here's a better hourly forecast.
