Winter mornings are very cold: 137.9 mornings on average fall to or below freezing and 4.4 mornings each year can be expected to fall so low as 0 °F or −17.8 °C. This indicates heavy continental influence courtesy of its far inland position. Winter weather can be extremely variable, ranging from extremely cold due to Arctic outbreaks from the Yukon to a three-month winter average of six afternoons above 70 °F or 21.1 °C due to hot chinook winds blowing off the Rocky Mountains. In some cases, these chinooks can produce extremely rapid increases in temperature; during February 10, 2017, the temperature rose from 25 °F (−3.9 °C) in the morning to 92 °F (33.3 °C) in the afternoon and down to 46 °F (7.8 °C) the following morning.
Summers are hot, and mornings remain relatively mild. Nine mornings each year can be expected to stay above 68 °F or 20 °C, but virtually none stay above 77 °F or 25 °C, although the temperature did not fall below 79 °F or 26.1 °C on July 10, 2016. However, 70.5 afternoons reach 90 °F or 32.2 °C, with 12.3 afternoons topping 100 °F or 37.8 °C, and a record high of 113 °F (45 °C) on June 26, 2011.
