Dep = Departure from normal ( __ = below normal, + above normal), in °F.
Pcpn = Observed daily precipitation (midnight to midnight, CST) in inches.
Rec Pcpn = Record daily amount of precipitation in inches.
Rec Max = Record maximum temperature in °F.
Rec Min = Record Minimum temperature in °F.
HDD = heating degree day units (base of 65 degrees) in °F.
CDD = cooling degree day units (base of 65 degrees) in °F.
Norm Max = Daily Normal High Temperature (1991-2020 normals) in °F.
Norm Min = Daily Normal Low Temperature (1991-2020 normals) in °F.
