Plot Description:

This produces an infographic with some of the information found presented in NWS CLI reports.

The high and low temperature gauges contain some extra statistical information based on the period of record observations for the site. Sometimes this period of record information comes from a nearby weather station. This informatiom also provides the coldest high temperature and warmest low temperature, both of which are not found within the raw CLI text product.
