Question 20. Keeping in mind what has occurred so far, if warm temperatures move into a new area after midnight, what do you think should happen to the dewpoint temperatures in the new area? Is this what actually happens after midnight in this new area?
 



 
Answer. Quickly lowering dewpoint temperatures coincide with the area of quickly warming air temperatures. Specific examples include the mesonet sites at Norman, Washington, and Pauls Valley.
