Thanksgiving Warmth

Yesterday we set a record high of 58°F, shattering the previous record of 52°F set in 1972. As you can see on the right we were 21° above normal, and today should be more of the same. We only had a morning low of 31°F and I fully expect us to reach the low to mid 50s this afternoon. Today's record high is 54°F, established in 1942 then again in 1984. The morning low tied the record warmest low temperature for today, set in 1908 then met again in 1998 and 2001. This Thanksgiving is in stark contrast to last Thanksgiving where the morning low was -9° and the afternoon high was 15°.
