And now for a change of pace...with apologies to those in the Northeast.
The local NWS station in Waco, Texas set a new high temperature for
Tuesday, January 18. The new record of 82 degrees replaces the 80 degree
reading recorded in 1951. I also had a reading of 82 at my station in
Temple, Texas which is about 35 miles south of Waco. Temperatures for the
first 18 days of January are running 11.5 degrees above normal. The minimum
temperature for the last 59 hours has remained above the normal maximum
temperature for this time of year.

previous record and year:
