Cold air will return

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 05:53 AM

It probably sounds like a "Debbie Downer" to point out that the very warm air today will eventually give way to much colder temperatures before spring is over. The featured chart presents the yearly combination of warmest temperature prior to 17 February and then the coldest temperature for the rest of spring after that day. In all cases, temperatures below 15 degrees have been observed with plenty of values below zero! Focusing back on the positives, warm and moist air is streaming into the state this morning with highs expected to top out in the 60s!

Voting:
Good = 14
Bad = 8
