Atlanta at 79 at 2pm. 1 degree away from tying the all time February record of 80
 
Definitely hitting 80 today

Um, according to the NWS? At KATL 80 is the February record.

2/22 and 2/24 in 2018 each had a high of 83*F (you can verify this for yourself on FFC's climate records page).

So either you're misinterpreting what FFC said in that tweet, or FFC is mistaken. More than likely, it's the former.

Regardless, 80*F is not the all-time record high for February in Atlanta.

I believe you're looking at the "Atlanta area" on there and not the actual KATL which is the airport. I've attached a table of the monthly highest temperature at KATL that's sorted for February. As you can see 80 is the highest.

KATL at 81 degrees at 3pm! New all-time February max temp.

(This is the Hartsfield Jackson Airport site for those not familiar)

It's out of all of the times a high temperature has been recorded, not all of time. It is warm but dewpoints are in the upper 50's to low 60's so not too unbearably humid, yet. Not a bad run at the records this week! Could we break the record high again tomorrow? Probably.

I've been mistakenly looking at Athens and not Atlanta. ?‍

That's definitely my bad. I apologize.
 
I agree, that 81 felt great at lunch today! Can't wait for green leaves to return! It's time to move on from cool weather. I was just thinking of how I miss the afternoon thunderstorms on my drive home, yesterday.
