Today's (02/01/11) Highs and lows across the USA. It would appear the lowest temp on the map occured at Glasgow, MT with a -36 F. The warmest, over 2300 miles to the southeast, was Tampa, FL. with 80 F. This produces a difference of 116 F !!!
The effects of the artic airmass have been dramatic. Look at the overnight lows map below.
Look at the difference between Oklahoma City and Little Rock, AR. 39 degrees!! Then, compare the difference between Dodge City, KS and Memphis, TN... 58 degrees!! Conversely, look just in Texas alone; Amarillo's bitterly cold 1 F above zero, to the balmy 69 in Brownsville!
The daytime highs produce just as interesting results:
Check out the Ohio River Valley. From Louisville, KY at 54 F, to Cincinatti, OH at 33 degrees! Little Rock's 55 degrees compared to the paltry 19 F at Tulsa, OK. How about Houston, at 70 degrees (early this morning) to Dallas at a mere 22 F!!! Just mouth dropping!!
The highs map is conflicting in Texas; Del Rio recorded a high of 41F yet the color is as red as the Florida Peninsula. Dallas had the same high as Buffalo yet the color at Dallas is around the color where Nashville and Lexington (both with a 54F high) are. With the discrepancies noted in earlier threads, it's safe to say that the Weather Channel is unreliable when it comes to these maps. :/

That may be the case if you just use the COLORS as your only temperature reference. If I am not mistaken, there are numbers on those maps as well . Yes, I agree The Weather Channel could do a better job with the coloration, but I just go for the cold, hard numbers.

Agreed. Some of the temperatures have been way off on these maps. As long as the colors are accurate, tomorrow's map will illustrate the arctic outbreak well.
