OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 1 hour ago, TheClimateChanger said: Minneapolis has now set two outright monthly record high temperatures in the last 5 months (with records dating to 1872) - 92 in October, and 65 in February. Additionally, only one year exceeded the 98F reading from September (1931 - 104, on 9/10; and 99, on 9/8), and the 55F reading in January has been exceeded only twice (1/25/1944 - 58F; and 1/24/1981 - 57F). Honorable mention to August - the 98F reading has only been exceeded in 9 years (5 of them by just one degree). Temps are over preforming again today. Full sun and already 50F here. Just stat padding the record # of 50+ temps this winter. Payback from last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The current temperature of 71F at Toledo ties the February monthly record high temperature. Still plenty of time to exceed that value. It previously hit 71F on 2/24/2017, 2/26/2000, 2/11/1999, and 2/26/1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 What an absolutely historic day in Michigan! Traverse City is 70F -- that's a whopping 4F above the prior monthly record maximum and prior winter seasonal record maximum. Incredible. Likely to rise even more. Total obliteration. Alpena at 65F, tying monthly and seasonal all time maxima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today will likely set a new monthly maximum, as the record is 70 in 2017/1999. Fun fact- the only month to not hit 70 is January. The warmest temperature is 67° on Jan 25, 1950, however many areas registered over 70 that day, including 72 at Ann Arbor. I suspect present day DTW would have as well. On the flip side, the only month not to have a temperature in the 30s is july, all time low being 42 on July 6, 1972. So theoretically, it is possible, though extremely unlikely, for someone in Southeast Michigan to be as cold as the 30s or as warm as the 70s any month of the year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 A nice 69F at Madison, Wisconsin, breaking the prior monthly record of 68F set on February 22, 2017, and breaking the prior seasonal record of 68F set on February 22, 2017 & December 16, 2021.

TheClimateChanger Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 66 in Houghton Lake, Michigan, breaks the prior monthly record of 64F (1930) & seasonal record of 64F (2/1930 & 12/2001). The temperature at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan has ticked up to 50F since that last observation. That value ties the February monthly high of 50F, set on February 16, 1921. Nowhere near the seasonal record though. Due to the lake effect, the warmest temperatures occur in early December. 65F at Green Bay ties the monthly record from 2/22/2017 & ties the seasonal record from 2/22/2017 & 12/16/2021. Some nearby airports registering 70F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact- the only month to not hit 70 is January. Without diving into the stats, with how snowy/cold febs have been here recently, and the thaws in January recently, you'd never guess we've never hit 70 in january. Looks like Detroit hit 72. Pretty incredible to break the all time feb high. Obviously alot of factors to take into account when trying to figure out why we're seeing warmer temps in winter recently. You almost have to expect some historic snowstorm in a few weeks, when everyone just starts to get used to the continued 50s/60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but each year is different. The max in Jan this year was only 44. Toledo has hit 70 in Jan on a few different occasions (we had a crazy warm spell Jan 20-22, 1906, another strong nino) but it's still extremely rare.

weatherbo Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 55 degrees here in far northern Marquette County, feels amazing. Colder air just starting to make its way to the north shore of Superior. WWA goes into effect this evening. Will probably see 5-8" in my local snowbelt. Still a solid but softening 8 inches otg here in the woods.

I was gonna head down to florida this weekend for the month of March but might stick around a few extra days since it looks to be in the 60s through the weekend.
