Here in Denver we get 50-degree temperature swings in a day. Thursday high: 64 (and sunny and calm) in mid-afternoon. Friday low: 14 (and snowing and blowing) after dark. Saturday forecast: high of 7 at noon, low of -9 by midnight. That's a 73-degree swing in two days.
Incidentally I recently read https://www.amazon.com/Soon-Heard-Roaring-Wind-Natural/dp/0316410608, more or less a history of weather forecasting. It's written by a newbie sailor and biologist from the University of Alaska, who bought a boat and sailed it from Galveston to Guatemala. So each chapter is a mix of weather forecasting history, and voyage log. Informative and entertaining; it kept me engaged.

Last night was 18F. Today was 33F. Tomorrow is 60. Sunday is 78. And by mid-week next week it is supposed to be in the 40s. I suppose both sides on the issue of climate change will find evidence in there somewhere. I just wish it would hang around closer to our long term average (60F) so I could go sailing.
