December. Highest ever was 86 which happened last year.

that's interesting that waycross' highest Dec temp occurred last year. I don't remember last winter being that warm.

GSP tweeted this out today. They call it the southern App Thermal Belt. Pretty neat phenomenon!

Clemson is always one of the warmest places in the upstate, must be all that hot air coming from the campus Actually I've always thought maybe the lake has something to do with it. But the thermal belt is real, Greenville and I-85 corridor is often warmer than Greenwood and Anderson.

Last December was extremely warm. You can see the bullseye over us.

Big temp differences tonight. It's 67 in atl and not far away in ptc its 57. 56 at my house and 58 in Macon. I may be the coolest location in ga outside the mtns.

Look at this for Augusta, GA::AUGUSTA        :AGS       41 /   90 / 0

 Augusta had a whopping 49 degree rise from the low today!! Dry air ftw. I wonder when the last time was that they had that kind of spread.

 

 

 Answer: all of the way back on 11/7/01, when the range was 50, was the last time Augusta had a diurnal range at least as great as the 49 of 10/26/14. The low was 28 and the high was 78. It wouldn't totally shock me if this 49 was the greatest diurnal range for any official GA station since the 50 of 11/7/01.

Currently  a chilly 37 out.

Great temperature inversion on our 12Z sounding this morning. Here in Blacksburg, we are at an elevation of about 2,100 feet. The temperature here was 35 degrees. Just 900 feet up, or about 3,000 feet in elevation, the temperature is 57 degrees! That would explain why there is a huge difference in temperatures across the region this morning. Many of the valleys dropped into the 30's, while places like Boone and Bluefield stayed in the 50's all night.

Solak,

Here in GA, I'm also seeing some of the largest differences over short distances I've seen in awhile. By the way, Augusta fell a whopping 45 degrees from yesterday's 90 high to today's 45 low! Desert climo ftw!

[Solak]

Even around here it's a little crazy, and we don't have much elevation to deal with. 37 at the airport, and 48 just west of Clayton, about 8 miles away.

[Solak]

Made it up to 75°. That's sorta close to the 82 they forecast

Big spread again in temps this morning when I got up at 5:00.  44.6 over at the airport, 54 over in Clayton.

[mackerel_sky]

49 and crispy dry! 14 days and counting since last rain!

[Solak]

Dense fog has moved in as forecast. Now it's really going to have to work to get to the predicted 84 later today.

[Solak]

48 here now, 60 in Raleigh.

[yotaman]

Has really warmed up today. Currently we are at 80 and the dew points have climbed into the low 60's. Supposed to be close to 85 today. A bit uncomfortable to late October.

Was 85 here yesterday and 80 currently. Probably won't get quite as warm as yesterday but good grief, this sucks.

 

This is going to make those low temps in the 30s, and maybe even upper 20s this weekend feel especially nice though.

[metalicwx366]

90 yesterday. 86 today.

Ok... I will know this for future references....

Last time we went without ANY measurable precip for this length of time (14 days now) was November, 2007. Hopefully that will change this evening and over the weekend.

[Orangeburgwx]

The last time Orangeburg,SC had any precipitation was all the way back on Oct. 3rd....that makes 25 days with no rain but they are calling for some tonight.....

Orangeburg airport had rain on the 13th and 14th that totaled almost an inch

That is wierd because TWC monthly observations show that the last recorded rainfall was on the 3rd...I will pay attention to airport now since it is just 6 miles from my house...But in any case... that is still 2 weeks without any precip....we need it...
