Observations Record warmth, Feb 6th - 8th

[cyclogent]

Numerous daily records expected to be tied or broken next few days, with some spots nearing all time February records. Figured a new thread would be in order to keep track and declutter the main Feb thread. Torch time!

For Chattanooga there are 3 records that could be tied or broken.

Feb 6th - record high 70 (forecast 69)
Feb 7th - record low max 61 (forecast 62)
Feb 7th - record high 74 (forecast 77)

Where is a good site to fine record high/low for a reporting weather station?

The unseasonably warm weather will continue through Thursday before
the passage of cold front brings winter back to the forecast area on
Friday. Temperatures will rise into the 70s again on Wednesday with
a few locations in the south possibly reaching 80 degrees on
Thursday. These forecast values are a few degrees shy of daily record
high values for February 6th, and very near records for February 7th.

Location February 6th February 7th
------------ ------------ ------------
Birmingham 76 (1999) 76 (1999, 1957)
Montgomery 82 (1957) 81 (1957)
Tuscaloosa 77 (1999) 79 (1999)
Anniston 76 (1999) 78 (1957, 1904)

Temperatures will be rather warm during the overnight periods as
well. In fact, we could see some new record high minimum
temperatures during this period. Below are the current daily record
high minimum temperatures for February 6th and 7th.

Location February 6th February 7th
------------ ------------ ------------
Birmingham 60 (1927) 60 (1937)
Montgomery 61 (1991) 65 (1884)
Tuscaloosa 59 (1957) 59 (1950)
Anniston 59 (1957) 58 (1957, 1904)

Huntsville reached 73 yesterday, breaking the previous record daily high of 71. The low last night was only 67, but I'm not sure how that relates to the record high min for the day.

My PWS is reading 73.8 with a dewpoint of 66. I thought the humidity/dp might be way off but upon checking local stations near me and NWS stations it appears to be pretty close, talk about humid. Here's a link for anyone interested! https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KNCELMCI3#history

It's 81 at the official station closest to me with still plenty of afternoon to go...lol I think it hits at least 86 I swear. Based off what I saw I think it shatters the record.

76 here. Sun is out. We’ll make it to 80

 

[ForsythSnow]

76 and partly cloudy now. Let's see how high it can go. If we break 80 here that would have to be a record.

Doing what we do best down here in the Columbia area. My station is at 80° already and climbing. Just crazy..

Oh and we have a heat index in early February.. lol jeez

60.8 this morning and 76 now...as much as I hate it, it does feel amazing out! I was in Cali a few weeks ago and it was near 80 every day I was there..feels like I am back there again with today’s temperatures. Unreal.

The fact that this thread is necessary makes me want to barf.

It's 75 at RDU. That also makes me want to barf.

Opp forgot about this thread, it’s 80 degrees here

76 in Marietta. I think pretty much everyone expected this after being so warm in January.

Did tag 80*F here, now back down to 79*F

ATL is currently at 76*F

There's a bad feeling I have that there will be more of these threads come summer if we aren't in an El-Nino. 77 here on February 7th. Just crazy.
