I checked greencast Tuesday 2/3 and was surprised to see the soil temp at 55F on the graph(and~60F as the current temp). Threw my preemergent down on Wednesday and checked again, and noticed it said the temp on 2/3 was 51F, but the current day was 55F. Today I checked and it again said the current day was 55F, but the previous two days were 51/52F.
I changed the chart dates and it appears the last day on the chart always incorrectly reporting higher than it is.
Anybody else noticed this? I'm assuming it's a big but I'm not sure if it's location dependent or not.

I don’t know why I read your location as Chicago at first and thought there is no way this is possible.
No worries here. If you got to 55 once, you’re on the cusp of getting back and staying above soon.
You got it down and you should be good to go….I typically apply mine at 50 degrees…
