The airport here was reporting 71F at the last update. Not sure where the 76F is coming from on that map. A couple of reports of 75F from stations in the area.

Forecast high today of 75F.

We made 70 now .

I really can't stand warm weather in January. It messes with your mind when the high temperatures will be in the 30s again a few days later.

Just wait. I foresee April forecasts of mid 70s reaching 80s. lol. The sun was probably the biggest factor they didn't think would happen today?

Looks like they choose to show Alexandria ESF on that zoom level. Closer zoom shows the main Alexandria AEX station. Wonder why. Maybe I will let them know.

Sometimes I see two readings near Alexandria on that map. AEX is closer to where I live.

It seems like ESF often shows warmer readings than AEX for some reason.

Topped out in the upper 60s. High cloudcover prevented it from reaching 70 F today. There were only two days this entire month that hit 70 F. A big departure from December when I had like seven 80 F days. First 80 F of 2016 possible on Tuesday?

Looks like the sensor at the Savannah airport is having some issues. Actual high there yesterday was probably around 70ish.
