Doesn't warm past single digits and teens Friday - Wednesday morning. Normal max is 35°F.
Normal Min is 17°F
and...It says by tomorrow 7pm it will be 11°F. Thursday we warm into the 20s then By Friday 7pm it will be 1°F !
Basically it will be Saturday and Sunday when people realize how cold it is and how consistent this attack is. Friday everyone will think it's going to warm up the next day or 2. Nope.
February to date is 13°F. Usually talking about monthly averages this early is pointless, but the next week will bring the average down further. January averaged 19.4°F. This will be one of the few Februrarys that is significantly colder than the January it followed. Won't break a record but will be the coldest February in a long time. January 2009 was cold, will it beat that?
Note 60°F reaching almost up to the Canadian border on the west coast, while central Florida barely makes it past 60°F.
It's these Arctic Dips (clippers) which cause a rising warm air in the west, and extreme cold dips in the east. These have been the cause of our drought over the last several years.
Two more clippers coming in this week, with the second dropping cold air all the way south into Florida. These two storms will combine for another 10-14" of snow in the upper plains, greats lakes region, and northeast. This will be the most brutal February in history for the northeast, while it will probably be the warmest on record in the southwest.
Here in Los Angeles they expect 80°-87° for the rest of the week. I can't remember this kind of extended warmth mid Winter.
Truly strange weather.
